SOURCE: get error message "operating system not found"
Run diagnostics on the harddrive. if possible reseat the Hard drive, i.e take it out and put it back again. and then try installing the OS. remember you have to boot from the laptop to install OS. Hope you are doing it correctly
SOURCE: Operating system not found
I would say either a bad harddrive or bad boot sector. If you are looking for a DIY solution, youll want to test the harddrive by running disk wizard or something similar or pulling the harddrive and putting it in a harddrive enclosure (available from NewEgg.com). The enclosure will hookup to another computer through usb or firewire and will allow you to backup your files if the harddrive is still good. If the harddrive isnt good, youll get errors while copying the files or it wont allow you to access the harddrive at all.
Else, take it to a computer repairman to have them pull the harddrive and run tests on it.

SOURCE: how to format sony vaio pcg-4 series
Boot from the "System Restore" CD-ROM.
One of the "setup" options for XP (or for Vista) is to "format" the entire disk-space, before continuing with the re-install.
SOURCE: sony vaio operating system not found when computer
You can try running the installation/recovery disc that came with the computer or the built-in recovery system (if it has one) to try and repair the windows installation. The problem is if the computer is saying that the operating system is not found then critical files got deleted from something like a virus or the hard disc drive has stopped working. You may have to do a format and re-install of the windows OS.

hi
shut down computer - remove power adapter, remove battery
use a blow dryer to dry off excess water or liquid from area . if your keboard got wet, you need to remove keyboard and blow dry that area, but dont get the dryer too close to the circuitry to avoid damage by heat. if this does not resolve issue -- let it dry for several days
start computer after 3-4 days... if problem persists, call a Sony service business center.
