First of all, what makes you say that your hdd has stopped working? Is it not letting you load Windows? Please be as precise as possible

I think you need to boot from the recovery flash drive for it to work

what is the model number of sony vaio

if I am reading it correctly you trying use sony Recovery Media onto a new hard drive
