Do you have deleted the hidden partition?

If not, I have heard if you click F10 if you can see the VAIO logo, (at system boot) then it starts the program for burning of the rec. DVDs.

When you turn on hold F10 until a menu appears, you should then be able to make DVDs or recover Windows.

I've managed to burn a recovery disc, but unsure if that holds all the original information..does anyone know how i find that out please ?

Failing to understand why i only have 22GB, HDD C has 13.9GB with 6.25 free and HDD D has 16.2 with 16.1 free.....wheres the other 10GB ? it stated when i bought it that i had 40GB

Also ( i know its a different matter sorry) does anyone now what i use to clean the black lcd screen....

Many thanks again :slight_smile:

And im sorry to be a pain :smileyblush:

That is the hidden partition. There are the files from the recovery DVD. You could delete this partition. But try wheter your recovery DVD works.

Make a systemrecovery only on drive C:. If it works then you could delete this partition. (you must make a complete systemrecovery).

But I would burn a Copy of the recovery DVD before.
