If you never created the recovery discs the option should still be there to do so!

Hi Shay6anUSA,

as long as the hidden HDD recovery partition has not been deleted then you should be able to recover you Vaio.

To do this start your Vaio and when you see the Vaio logo press the F10 repeatedly, this normally starts the recovery utility.. :slight_smile:

This is, as you suspected, against the forum rules as what you are asking for constitutes piracy. You can purchase a set of recovery media from Vaio-Link, but it will be in the language of the country of purchase...

Sorry :slight_frown:

well am sorry that i asked that but i had no choice since Sony is making me run around for almost a year to get the recovery CDS what you expect me to do Really ?? if they had an option to order CDS online or a direct contact Number i wouldn't be where am at now .. but some might put it as piracy but i do not think of it that way in my case ... and by the way if they didn't want you to make ur own copy of the recovery cds you wouldn't be able to do it at all really..

any ways thanks for trying to help ;D

I can understand your frustration as the recovery media should be readily available for a fee...

I have escalate this to Vaio-Link and hopefully someone from there will contact you. Please make sure that your registered contact phone number(s) are correct.

It is a Microsoft licensing requirement.

You only legally own a licence for German Windows. You need to buy an English licence.

that's not exactly true i used the same product key when i got a new windows vista and it worked fine and its in English as well so the product key is to determine if its ultimate or home etc ...
