VGN N21E_W recovery problems

nathaniel50 — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:56:45 GMT

I have been given a laptop which hadn't been used since 2008. I tried to update windows and downloaded 99 updates! The last few didn't work (i.e.wouldn't configure and automatically reverted over and over again). I tried to restore the original operating system (Vista Home Premium, by the way) but now I'm having all sorts of issues. How can I recover a working laptop when I don't have any recovery discs? Anyone's help would be very much appreciated.

Hi nathaniel50,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

Your Vaio has a hidden HDD recovery partition, so unless you've formatted the hidden partition then you should be able to recover your vaio..

Restart your vaio and when you see the Vaio logo press the F10 key repeatedly..

This should start the recovery process using the hidden HDD recovery partition.

Then follow the recovery instructions to complete the process.

Further information can be found using the following link - How to troubleshoot VAIO Recovery Center problems
