try these steps

Hi,
I think your laptop is now really messed up and you will need to restore to factoy settings.
I hope you created the Recovery CD/DVD set with the Recovery Wizard when you
first set up your computer, you can restore to factory default settings by
setting up your BIOS (press F2 at the VAIO logo when you first start up) to
boot to the CD-ROM/DVD drive first. Then boot with the Recovery Startup CD.
Choose the option to perform a complete recovery
Follow the prompts to insert the various Recovery CDs/DVDs as needed.
As this action will format the drives again, I hope you have made a backup of your data.
If you failed to create the Recovery CD/DVD set you need to
purchase a proper recovery set from Sony.

Sony does not offer the recovery dvd for download. You can actually burn yourself a repair disc, which you then can use to reinstall the OS.
Just follow the instructions here http://www.istartedsomething.com/20070929/vista-sp1-recovery-disc/ for your project.
But don't forget to back up your personal data first, otherwise it will be lost for good.

image recovery files are specific for different systems so plz contact HP tech support

your recovery dics should not be a dvd, but a cd. look at all of your discs and make sure you are using the right one, if you cant find the right one call sony and ask them which one to use.
