Vaio Optical CD/DVD RW

Hi Can anyone help me please ?
I have a vaio PCG-GRX516SP (with a Toshiba SD-R6012 drive) Which i brought when leaving England and moving (retiring) to Turkey at Heathrow Airport.
The problem is its been ok for two years, but a friend of mine brought over from England some blank DVDs, Tried to record these and it gave me a message firmware out of date, so i went to the Sony site and found a firmware update which i installed, no probs. I then tried to transfer my Sony Camcorder contents to DVD to send to my family in England, But it was so jerky that i could'ent us it, so i thought i would use the recovery disc's to clear my C: hard drive and get rid of all the rubbish i collected over the last 2 years. But now i have a laptop which is completey useless, nothing at all. I can install the first recovery disc but after that is will not accept the 2nd disc and i get the message "missing operating System". I don't know how to get into the bias, i can't do anything with it. I've tried the Sony website but just get sent around in circles, as i live in Turkey it will cost me a fortune to phone Sony, and i don't speak Turkish good enough to contact Sony in Istanbul, So can anyone out there help me?
hope to here from someone
