    You can download a windows 7 iso from "digital river" (Google it) and burn it. Then use the system recovery options. You could also try to boot into safe mode and run "fsc /scannow" command to see if that helps.

    To burn it you would need access to another pc with a recordable dvd drive and you need blank dvd media. Then you need software like imgburn.

    The file that is corrupted is \window\system32\config\system
    Status:0xc000014c
    Can it be solved and is there a chance of screwing up my laptop completly?
    Also when I put in the burned installation disc what do I do next?what steps do I take do you know any tutorials online or on youtube I can view to aid me and will I retain all data I have on the laptop

    Depends what the issue is... once you have the dvd in your pc (you could also create a bootable usb stick with the ISO on it) Restart your pc and see if you get prompted to boot from the dvd. If not, you might have to restart again and tap a button to show the boot menu, usually this is F12 but im not sure about Sony's but google will tell you that. Once you boot up you should get a screen like the one below, click startup repair and see if that works. If it doesnt work, try the next option, system restore, it will give a calendar and simply choose a day where you know your pc was working and it will try to restore windows to that day...it wont affect files such as office documents or pictures etc, it just restores window files. Youtube should be a good resource for you...if you stick in something like "repairing windows 7 Sony vaio" or even your error code above and look through the videos you should see step by step instructions that will help.
