No idea what all above all about an wouldn't be surprised if you don't know either, to me it meant remove the bloody thing you have spent all day trying to make it work, new disk working, sling it into the tall grass.īut after switching off I for some reason switch on (i dont know why) AND THIS TIME EVERYTHING CAME UP.īeyond me to figure it out, is it faulty drive as errors as indicated in checkdidk previous tests, or virus, I simply dont know.

Alternatively change the drive for one that has 512 Bytes per sector and install it internally – your created recovery media should then work.įirst good result, after fitting new HGST drive my attempt with the 3 disks failed, then tried an image disk previously created from my toshiba external (toshibe backup program) also failed,Īnyway on being prompted plugged in the external and whatever mode I was in then found the right bit and wallah all worked.

You have the option of purchasing and installing a retail copy of windows (which will be AF aware) and then downloading and installing all Sony drivers and utilities from the support site – original bundled software is not available for download. If I am correct then the recovery media will not work as it will require the same bytes per sector as the original drive. There is a complication here as I believe that the original HTS545050B9SA00 drive has 512 bytes per sector whereas the HGST HTS5450A7E380 is an Advanced Format (AF) drive having 4096 bytes per sector. Are you sure that you created Recovery Media as 3 CD’s seems a very small capacity for a modern machine – I would expect 5/6 DVD’s minimum. In order for your created recovery media to work you need to install a new drive internally and then boot from disk 1 of the recovery media set – then follow on screen instructions. I believe there are workarounds but I have no experience of these. Installation to/running from an external USB drive is not supported by the Windows installer.
