Vaio Recovery Problem

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
i have a VAIO VGN-FZ160E. when i tried to recover my laptop to its factory settings by using the recovery drive, i changed the active partition of my hard drive from "C" to "Recovery partition" by means of "Acronis Disc Director" software and then reboot it (because this method was helpful in recovering my old Dell laptop). after that an error appears : "can't find ntldr , press ctrl+alt+del to restart". i try to install new OS (XP,Vista and even 7) but none of them could see my hard drive. i even used some bootable softwares like "Partition Magic" to undo this but it can not find my hard drive either.

You can try to perform a repair from an installation disk (ignoring the message of not-seeing the drive/partition, or download EASUS and use its utility of fix boot record. Hopefully it can get your drive back to being accessible. If not, another drive is what you need.

cheers ...
