Hi pix_lax82 and welcome to Club Vaio.

The Recovery software is held in a hidden partition on your hard disc. You can reinstall the original software at any time from this hidden partition using the VAIO Recovery Utility.

You can also make Recovery DVDs from the Hard Disc using the VAIO Recovery Utility - you will need 2 or 3 DVD-R or DVD+R blank discs.

To open the VAIO Recovery Utility just type this name into the 'Search' box on the Start Menu.

There is a tutorial for XP but the process is similar for Vista: -
