Hello, My Sony vaio vgn-ar51j's hd's just died recently so I bought a new one that appears in the bios alright. My problem's as follow: I didn't backup or write any dvd when I bought the laptop, so I download a Vista sp1 version. I put the disc in the player, click "Install now" and I got this message: Install Windows "Windows cannot the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070002" Would anybody have an explanation? Should this required Install.wim file already be on the hd? Is there a way of getting it and installing it through the prompt command made available with the boot disc? Any tipp will be welcome... Kind Regards, fostrouty

You message is not very clear! You say you downloaded Vista, from where? Computers... designed to entertain,help with work but most of all to frustrate you!
