I have a Sony Vaio laptop, model number SVE14AJ16L and I got a new hard drive since the hold had stopped working. I didn't need any files on the the old drive, so I just popped it out. I installed the new drive, but then the Assist button wasn't working. I googled this, and I couldn't find a solution. I needed to install Vaio care, but couldn't find the Vaio care for my model number. I needed to install Windows 8, but for some reason, it wouldn't detect the DVD or the USB drive. I made the USB bootable using rufus, and I downloaded an ISO and was planning to put in the serial number on the bottom of my laptop. It just would say Operating System not found. I can't go into the BIOS, since that is what the assist button is for, and it just wont detect it. The DVD spins up, and the USB activity light blinked, but nothing. I have no idea what is going on. Even when I took out the hard drive, and put in the DVD/USB, it would still say Operating System not found.
TL;DR
Installed a new drive, ASSIST not working, doesn't detect a bootable USB/DVD, only comes up as Operating System not found. I made USB/DVD bootable, and tested it on other computers.
Please help, thanks.
