Vgn-nr185e (sony vaio) is the laptop am using. BIOS can see the hard (200GB) but on booting i get a read error, and it asks me to restart. When i was running backtrack 3 live cd and other live OS i was able to view the disk and the files on it but not anymore. When i try running vista and instalation, after the loading files it hungs even when i try it in safe mode. Though the hard disk is still seen by BIOS.. Will really appreciate the helpp
What are you using to reformat the hdd? if you havent formatted the hdd using any retail version of od disc, youmay try to access the vaio recovery partition.. that is when you restart the computer, then press f10 key repeatedly for 5-7secs. it will load vaio recovery center. then from there, select restore c: drive. follow on-screen instruction and it will format the hdd. process may take for 45mins up to an hour
