Trying to use a recovery program I always use for all my laptops and desktops and have created a bootable USB Stick and also a DVD bootable disk. Both disk and usb work on all other systems but this Sony Laptop.

I have tried to find the boot option menu or safe mode startup. I have tried this by pressing various buttons each time on boot usually F2, Del, esc, F12, F10 on other systems and also F8 which does not appear to enable the laptop to start with a manual boot.

Thanks for the response , yes it's Windows8.

Starting from power off I press assist.

Goes to Sony Vaio assist screen.

Entered BIOS to check USB boot and DVD. No USB boot option only external drive, internal drive, DVD and network.

Set DVD to priority.

Rebooted with DVD in goes straight to Windows.

Powered down.

Start again press assist and goto sony Vaio system screen.

Selected the boot from dvd usb option.

This route neither the dvd or the usb are recognised. They are bootable but this is not reporting non bootable partition, simply not seeing either of the devices media to boot from as if not in the drive or usb2 port.

Both the devices media (DVD boot and USB boot) work on other pc/lpatop systems. Tested by me.

It would seem the VAIO system screen doesn't work with these bottable media types.

So want to try brute force and boot direct from start up to usb or dvd. However there's is a sony flash screen and the bios boot does not display any options like press f12 for boot menu, delete for bios, f8 for safe mode and so on.

I've checked in the bios, the boot option in bios is set to UEFI and there is no windows bootloader screen represented when booting up from cold. The VAIO screen then straight to windows log on from cold start.

There is a legacy option. Do you think this is worth a go with the USB stick, or will it cause further problems. I can easily switch it back once the partition/drive is backed up...I hope.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony Award-winning actress, singer, author and activist LAURA BENANTI today releases her self-titled debut album Laura Benanti. Available everywhere now from Sony Music Masterworks, the 11-track album features the versatile artist performing a mix of covers both classic and contemporary, breathing new spirit into everything from modern pop songs to jazz-influenced ballads.

With her self-titled full-length debut, Laura Benanti constructs a diverse and dynamic solo statement, working alongside award-winning producer Matt Pierson (Brad Mehldau, Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, Jane Monheit), arranger Gil Goldstein and a bevy of seasoned musicians on the album. Through and through, the process highlighted every side of Laura's voice.

"We definitely talked about the songs as characters," she explains. "As an actor, I'm used to becoming and embodying other people. So, it was important for me to play the role each song required. I drew on different shades of my voice and personality to tell different stories."

Meanwhile, Laura transforms Selena Gomez's "Lose You To Love Me" into a bold ballad backed by resounding strings and a powerhouse vocal performance. "When I heard Gil's arrangement, I was so moved by it," she recalls. "I was able to personalize the story for myself. I can hear the evocative nature of that memory in my voice, and I hope other people feel the same way." She drew inspiration from Rosemary's Clooney version of "Don't Worry 'Bout Me" to track her own tender take and carefully chose "The Party's Over" from the 1956 musical Bells Are Ringing as a gorgeous denouement to the album. Elsewhere, accordion pipes through her reimagining of Rufus Wainwright's "Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk," which she relates to as devilishly conjuring "my twenties when I got in some trouble." She also delivers a "fun interpretation of the anti-love song" by flipping Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" on its head.

Maintaining a lifelong commitment to the arts, the singer also recently created an empowering campaign titled #SunshineSongs, which invited students whose school musical productions were canceled this year due to the pandemic to share videos of the performances they were not able to give, on social platforms. As chronicled by Good Morning America, she generated 4 million impressions and received over 10,000 submissions, attracting celebrities like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jennifer Garner to join the campaign. Additionally, she invited students to contribute songs to her free "Sunshine Concerts" for senior living communities and children's hospitals. The campaign's success further grabbed the attention of HBO Max who recently partnered with Benanti to release an unscripted special, called Homeschool Musical: Class Of 2020 this December.
