Follow these steps to get your computer back to normal when you cannot 
start Windows:

                                                                          

                                                                          

                                                                         

Try any of the following:
❑ Restore system files from the latest restore point when your 

computer was working normally (see page 24).

❑ Restore your data from the backup copy made with the Windows 

Complete PC Backup and Restore feature (available on models 
with Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista Business only) 
(see page 22).

 

You cannot restore your files which you have changed or created 
after the backup. If you have such files and want to restore them, 
make backup copies of them with the Rescue Data software. For 
instructions on how to use the Rescue Data software, see “To back 
up your data with Rescue Data” on page 26.

Make backup copies of your files with the Rescue Data software if you 
have not yet made them (see page 26).

Examine your computer hardware (a CPU, memory module, hard disk, 
etc.) with the VAIO Hardware Diagnostics software.

 

For instructions on how to use the software, see the help file on the 
VAIO Hardware Diagnostics software.

If you still cannot start Windows, recover your computer system
