OK someone out there must have the same computer as me.. please make me a set of recovery discs and somehow send them to me or post them as a torrent or anything PLEASE... I DESPERATLEY NEED THEM!!!
Unfortunately that is against the forum rules and it is unlikely there are any torrents, have you tried visiting the vaio website for support or phoning up customer services? You may not even need to use recovery disks there are plenty of tools out there that could probably get your system up and running again, what is the exact problem? and did you have system restore enabled?
My haddrive crashed(problem) i did phone customer service, SONY is a bunch of crap they didnt help me, they said that the computer should of prompted me to make 6 cds and it only made one...so they wouldnt help me and i have no warranty anymore either so i do need the recovery discs to get vaio OS
why need the software if have the xp cd & there are programs out there that will tell you what the hardware you have??
bigmac102 Can't you D/L updates/drivers from Sony's sight just for their hardware that is installed in your PC, after you load XP as what ddp suggested?
If its Sony drivers for their products, then they should be listed on their website. Dell, Gateway, and most PC manufacturers do this.

Here is a link for example of sonicstage from their site. Just do a little searching on their site for programs that work for your machine. Try their support tabs.
what about all the other software i used on the sony OS? thats only one software that i found on that site...doesnt help that much
bigmac102 http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-download.pl?template=EN&mdl_id=452&upd_id=1790&PASSVAL=ALLOS The above is the Vaio Media software, right off the Sony site. You listed two software packages, I found two software packages. Took about 60 seconds each. I think it's time that you start to do a search for the software that you are looking for. Thats what so nice about the internet. This is your PC, go for it and good luck!
