Hi All, I have Sony Vaio which is just 1 yr old. About a week before, I installed the latest updates windows 7. When I started the windows, I was able to log into the windows. But then, the system was very slow. So, I turned down the laptop. After that, a message appeared "A disk error...

I needed to clear up a problem with start up and resorted to defaulting to factory settings. I lost all photo files and other favorite dowload sites. I have attempted a few different recovery programs without success. Can these 1000 plus images be recovered?

Hey, last night I got this KSOD a lot of people seem to be having problems with lately. I was doing nothing serious, just msn and browsing online, and the computer locked up so I had to do a manual restart. It said to check for errors, so I did, and got a blue screen, error, restart and try...
