SOMEONE HELP ME! I have a Sony Viao VGN-NR160E. I was on this morning then it said to restart my computer so the updates could begin. Well, I delayed it until before i had school. I turned it off then i went to school.When i got home, It said Windows failed to start.
It was missing
File:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\compbatt.sys

status: 0xc0000098

Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt.

We cant boot your computer without the DVD stalechips2000. If I were you, I would contact Sony and ask for the disk.

We dont share or provide disks here even if it were legal to do so which of course it is not.

oh..ok.Just gotta wait till tomorrow morning to call..then wait 4-6 weeks?

[stalechips2000]

Wait so then would it cost anything?

I dont know stalechips2000. You will have to talk to Sony. You should have been provided with some recovery media but I dont know what they offer.

[stalechips2000]

Okay then. Thanks for all your help so far.

[AnnMarie]

No problem. Let us know what they say when you call. No doubt others are in the same boat as you and it may help. :)

[stalechips2000]

Will do. I hope i can help other from this corrupted update.

Ok, yesterday i called them and i was on hold for 36 minutes. I just hung up. Later that night, I just went to Office Depot and exchanged it because i still had my warranty. So I now have a brand new laptop with noproblems

[AnnMarie]

I see. Did you get the Vista disk too? If not, now is the time to contact Sony and ask that it be sent to you. That way you will be prepared if there are any further catastrophes.

[stalechips2000]

Well, I didn't get the vista disk. I have a 90 day warranty, and so i think nothing should happen in the 90 days. After those 90 days i should be fine.If something does, I can still take it back to the store.
