Hi bps1,

The full version of Win DVD is not available to download, only updates can be found on the Sony Vaio-Link site..

Unfortunately most but not all of the pre-installed applications can be re-installed using the Vaio recovery utility and Win DVD is one of those exceptions, the only way to re-install win DVD BD is to run the Vaio recovery utility and restore your Vaio back to factory settings..

Make sure you back up important data first..

You may be able to recover Win DVD by doing a system restore to the point before you lose win DVD.

HERE is a guide should you need it, is for XP but the process is similar..
