I ran Vaio Recovery Wizard. Everything was going smooth until it reached 10% and gave an errr: Stream Reading Error. I clicked okay and it restarted the recovery wizard, but ended up giving the same error. Operating systems will not proceed unless the the wizard reisntalls it. I'm not sure what to do. The system is Sony Vaio VGN-A790.
