Need Windows Vista Premium Startup Repair Disc and Recovery CDs
How do I make a startup repair CD and the Recovery CDs for Sony Vaio laptop? And of course, I didn't receive any CDs from Sony; all the software is on the computer. Microsoft was installing an update. "Stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer" was the message on the screen. Leaving it at 0% complete, the computer shut down and tried to startup again. When the computer tries to come back on, the black screen reads "configuring file system on c: Type of file system is NTFS. It goes through the process and reports "found no errors." Then the blue screen comes up again repeating "Stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer." Then it goes back to the black screen and repeats "configuring file system on c: Type of file system is NTFS. It goes through the process and reports "found no errors." It just keep on doing the same thing over and over again. It does the same thing in safe mode. I even tried "last known good configuration or system restore--nothing happened. I am trying to keep my data files and added software, if possible. I do not have a backup. How can I get my laptop working again? Can someone help me. Thanks.

RookieTec, any feedback?
LeeTutor - are these legit? That would be really really nice if they were. D/ling them now.
Yes, it is a legitimate site. If you read what it says, apparently Microsoft gave them special rights to make available the file for creating a Vista recovery disk, because at one time MS built that capability into Vista. I have downloaded and used the CD myself to test it...
How was you Hard Disk partitioned ?
