Windows 10: Sony Vaio won’t boot up. Need help.

I got malware on Sony Vaio. I looked all over for answer and it doesn’t want to get off black screen. I tried boot options and I barely got anywhere. Now it’s stuck on prompt and I can’t bypass it to get my data securely transferred. I also used my Series X to help download the installing media kit due to my laptop. I also tried hot keys but it says device needs repaired/ recovery. I don’t know what to do.

Sony Vaio Will Not Boot From Cloned SSD

I have cloned the 500 Mbt HD of a Sony Vaio to a 256 Gbt SSD using Aomei backuper and it will not boot. The error is: Your PC needs to be repaired, Error 0xc0000225 The old HD boots fine so obviously the the ssd isn't an exact clone. Sony do make a complicated HD with 7 partitions which might have something to do with it. The bios recognises the ssd. I have tried booting form a Win10 usb and startup repair can't fix it. I am wondering if I would be better off with a fresh Win 10 installation, although I will lose the original Sony configuration and drivers. Another possibility is to find a better way to copy the original HD to the SSD. Or there may be a way to repair the Win 10 installation on the ssd. Your advice would be appreciated. I have attached a screenshot of the error and the Diskpart list of partitions on the ssd that will not boot Kind regards Chris

 

USB 2.0 compatability on Sony Vaio


My computer info



Device Manager



Great. I just spent 1/2 hour composing a message and kept seeing "Auto Saved" keep popping up, but my hand slipped, don't know what I did, but was left with the 2 pics above, lost everything I had typed, and don't see how to bring back what was auto saved, so going with short version of issue:

• I have 3-USB ports, inside colored blue, 1 HDMI, and 1 SD card reader
  • Are all 3 USB ports 3.0?
  • Is that confirmed by the blue coloring?
  • How can I tell in Device Manager?
• Does USB 3.0 back-read 2.0?
  • Seems logical that it would, but I have a device (webcam) that, when plugged in, is sometimes recognized, but the camera app cannot run it, that it needs additional permissions but won't let me give them (yes, logged in as admin). Have tried to update drivers (says all current), FixIt, re-boot, etc. Nothing works. Sometimes it is not recognized at all.
  • Is this a typical MS money grab to force new purchases/upgrades?

Your help is much appreciated.

 

Sony Vaio Media Gallery after upgrading to windows 10

Hi Ikkal,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble this has caused.



Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better:



1. Have you installed all the pending updates on the system?

2. Are you facing this issue on a Microsoft account?

I suggest you to sign out from the current user account, restart the PC and login to the either administrator account or the Microsoft account to check, if that helps.

Also, I suggest you to install any pending updates on the PC to check, if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

This issue occurs due to the outdated or incompatible Sony Vaio media gallery software or due to the conflict between any third party applications on your system.

I suggest you to uninstall the Sony Vaio media gallery software and reinstall the latest Sony Vaio media gallery software in compatibility mode and check, if it works.

Follow these steps to install the Sony Vaio media gallery software in compatibility mode.

1. Download the latest Sony Vaio media gallery software from the manufacturer’s website.

2. Right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties".

3. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.

4. Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.

Also, try to perform a clean boot and check, if it works. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help to identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.
