This is strongly recommended as it is the only way you can recover the original OS and software in the event of a hard drive failure.&nbsp; This software cannot be downloaded.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">If you did not make recovery discs, the only way is to buy a replacement set of discs from Sony Support.&nbsp; This will cost around 50€.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.co.uk/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 21:35:23 GMT https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/hope-someone-can-help/m-p/210044#M12176 Blencogo 2011-04-02T21:35:23Z Hope someone can help!!! https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/hope-someone-can-help/m-p/210046#M12177 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> Thanks for your reply, I did have a set of disk, just moved and so do you think i can find them!!!
