hi, when i received this notebook i was slightly amazed to find tht there were discs included, as i thought i would reeceive some contating software or a copy of XP, however there were no CDs with the notebook. Is this with all the notebooks, or just mine?
Secondly, to 'combine' the 2 hard drives, or to 'close' the partition, is there any other solution to do this instead of creating about 11 recovery discs.
Thanks
You should still create a couple of recovery disk sets as you will need these if you ever need to recover the machine from a severe problem.
You could use an application such as Partition Magic to modify the partitions - be aware that data loss is possible if it all goes pear shaped.
so i was not supposed to receive any discs from sony?
No, you have to create them yourself . . . . the cheapskates.
No sadly you don't get any CD's, you have to create them yourself, though i do feel it's a bit penny pinching of Sony when you're splashing out the sort of money these things cost.
As has already been mentioned, boring though it is you really should make those recovery CD's, if your hard drive ever dies don't expect any sympathy from Sony.
Once you've done that you can use those to give your laptop one single partition with everthing restored on to it, which is exactly what I did, a bit time consuming but worth it in the long run.
It's worse than penny pinching, it's the return of Scrooge!
Baaah humbug
It's worse than penny pinching
All I can suggest is that when new users buy the blank media to create their recovery disks, get one back on Sony... ...don't use their media!
