A friend's laptop is having problems. When you try to boot it up you get an error message when windows starts to load, saying one of the operating system files is corrupt.
(It's a Sony VAIO, only 2 months old). I used a BartPE boot disk to boot the machine and transfer important files to a usb thumb drive. After that tried to do system restore (system has a hidden partition with image of drive as it was when came from factory). This failed, first at 21%, then 34%, after several attempts.
Tried to install windows from an XP CD, got errors while trying to copy files to the hard drive.
I ran checkdisk when I booted up with BartPE, and it found no problems. Is this normal? Anything we could try?
