Hello, and welcome to Geeks to go !

Sony VAIOs have a hidden recovery partition which can be accessed by pressing F10 on booting. I was wondering if you tried that on the old Hard drive, or was it to far gone to even attempt it?

There appears to be little information on the 333 Error.

I did find this on the Sony Support forum,

333 error in some cases is a memory error. Try pulling one of the RAM modules and trying the format again.

You might consider contacting Sony directly and post to the forum above too.
