I can easily switch it back once the partition/drive is backed up.I hope. Since VAIO rescue mode screen is displayed, and then select the BIOS settings, or display the BIOS settings menu. Do you think this is worth a go with the USB stick, or will it cause further problems. in a state in which the power is off, press the power button while holding down the F3 or F4 button.

The VAIO screen then straight to windows log on from cold start. I've checked in the bios, the boot option in bios is set to UEFI and there is no windows bootloader screen represented when booting up from cold.

The F11 button works when the assist screen is loaded and we are back to the top of this post. However there's is a sony flash screen and the bios boot does not display any options like press f12 for boot menu, delete for bios, f8 for safe mode and so on. So want to try brute force and boot direct from start up to usb or dvd. It would seem the VAIO system screen doesn't work with these bottable media types. They are bootable but this is not reporting non bootable partition, simply not seeing either of the devices media to boot from as if not in the drive or usb2 port.Д«oth the devices media (DVD boot and USB boot) work on other pc/lpatop systems. This route neither the dvd or the usb are recognised. Start again press assist and goto sony Vaio system screen. Rebooted with DVD in goes straight to Windows. No USB boot option only external drive, internal drive, DVD and network.

Thanks for the response, yes it's Windows8.Д®ntered BIOS to check USB boot and DVD.

I do see the sony recognise the usb as the green light is flashing, no message of boot failure.ДЎ) What is the boot option at startup to manually select a boot device.ДЈ) How to possibly rid the boot up screen displaying the VAIO logo.Д¤) Get the Sony to recognise either the bottable dvd or usb to backup the system without using the sony or built in miscrosoft bootup.ДЇinal result should be a full image backup of the hard drive ona an extarnal harddrive/usb stick for future restoration.

I have tried this by pressing various buttons each time on boot usually F2, Del, esc, F12, F10 on other systems and also F8 which does not appear to enable the laptop to start with a manual boot.ДЄll I seem to achieve is the Vaio screen and straight to Windows8. I have tried to find the boot option menu or safe mode startup.

Have tried the assist button on the laptop and the restore (boot from dvd/usb media) also does not work, as stated these both work on other laptops and desktops. I have gone into bios and set usb and also tried dvd as first boot device. Have USB stick in the usb2 port not the usb3 port due to compatibility issues with backup/restore on usb3. Both disk and usb work on all other systems but this Sony Laptop. Trying to use a recovery program I always use for all my laptops and desktops and have created a bootable USB Stick and also a DVD bootable disk.
