I have "system recovery" CD's from Sony. Their primary function is to wipe and re-install everything, but they also can boot up. I'm hoping... My wife is at home and going to call Sony and work with a tech person to (a) get critical documents transferred and (b) address the problem.
Of course, if the problem is a busted hard drive, there's little hope.
Hard Drives seem to crap out within 2 years, no matter what I do. Anyone else have this problem?
