I am trying to restore my sony vaio pcv-rx470ds back to its original ME OS..I had XP on but now when I try and use the system recovery disk it formats drive c then restarts but then it says it cannot recogonize drive d and wants to format both drives again and restore the partition and I accept that but then it seems to freeze or just stop thinking...I left it for about 1 1/2 hrs in this state hoping to come back amd find it past this point but I was wrong..Any ideas?

Message i just got..

Warningrive D not found

Drive D is not accessible
Some software apps may not work properly when D is not accessible

Type Y to Delete all partitions and create C & D drives

Type N to continue the restore process withoiut creating a D Drive

So I select N and it seems to continue on its merry way until about 8-9% then it say to remove any discs, process is terminated.
Now when I turn cpu on i get..

Ivalid System Disk
Replace the disk, and press any key
Any Ideas?

Umm now I get Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter
