Hi Mike and welcome.

It is likely that your hard disc will fail in the near future.

1. You should back up all important files and folders. If the drive fails everything will be lost. Do you have an external hard drive or a large USB stick?

2. You should make a set of Recovery Discs if you have not done so already. Use Vaio Care to make a set of DVDs holding all the original software and Windows operating system so this can be reinstalled onto a new hard drive if necessary.

3. If your Vaio is still within warranty, contact Vaio support to dicuss the next step.
