Hi I have a Sony PCG-F808K old but no problems (until now)Having collected crap files, corrupt bits and general detritus over the years. It was time recover the computer before handing it over to my daughter for college.

First part all goes well whilst hard disk was cleared. Then having reset the partitions to the ex-factory default and started to reload applications. All proceeds OK until 20% then it stops and says 120% completed
Critical error: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail? Nothing happens when I click on these.

I have had no joy from support. Any Ideas ? The only modification to the computer from new was extra memory fitted. Worked fine after this until now.

It sounds like the restore partition or disk is corrupt, or has missing files.

You might be able to get a new restore disk set from Sony.

If not, I would replace the hard drive and install Windows from a new disk.
