What error message did you get on the BSOD?

Did you make a set of Recovery DVDs?

How did you try to 'reboot the whole system'?

What model Vaio do you have?

Hi lalbpun,

iastor.sys is the SATA Hard Drive Controller so I am beginning to think this may be a hard drive fault.

Your model type is not valid - do you have a VPCEC2S0E? If so it is probably still within warranty and you should contact Vaio Support and tell them you have tried to recover the system and now you do not have an Operating System. Tell them the Recovery Discs do not work. They will probably change the hard drive and also check the motherboard while they have it in the workshops.

What country are you in?

Sony give a minimum of 12 months Warranty free. This should cover you if the hard drive or motherboard fails. You do not need to pay additional insurance.

Go Here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/index.aspx?m=0&l=en_GB

and enter your serial number to get contact details for Vaio Support. They should be able to help you to get your Vaio working again.

Check if the hard drive is visible in the BIOS. Try to start the Vaio normally and when you see the first Vaio logo, tap F2 repeatedly. Is a hard drive listed?

If the BIOS sees the hard drive then you can try reinstalling the SATA driver using a repair disc.

If the BIOS says HDD = None then you need a repair.
