Hi,
I have a major issue with my SONY Vaio PCV-RS Hard drive recovery.
After burning 2 disks from the SONY recovery wizard internal software, I started the procedure to format my computer but at the moment of the C drive recovery process (after only the 2% of progress), I got a “Stream Reading error” message that brought me to start all over again. The problem is that all the options I choose from the Recovery Wizard end up with the same error. I set up the default setting from the bios but… nothing! Someone told me to replace the HD but I got the same result. Now I am stuck and I do not know what to do. Can somebody help me? I would greatly appreciate otherwise I need to trash the pc and it would be really bad…

Thanks,
Alex

Please do not double-post, it causes confusion when multiple replies are entered.

First, is your VAIO still under warranty? If so, that is the place to start. Next, evidently this is a pretty common problem with Sony laptops. Unfortunately, the only thing I could find is here, scroll down to the fourth comment:

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestions and sorry for the double post, I am new on forums.

Unfortunatley the machine is not under warranty so I will check out the web site and find out the solution.
