The first thing I did was format the HD with out booting the machine as it came pre loaded with XP home and I needed XP Pro. I have no recovery DVD/CD. To cut a long story short I have got all the drivers and software I need on it with the exception of the Vaio Zone software. I can not find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can download this software, can anyone send me a copy? I will be forever grateful. Thanks in advance for any help.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Jan 2006 05:24:22 GMT https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-zone-software-vgn-a417s/m-p/37299#M101136 mickb 2006-01-06T05:24:22Z Re: Vaio Zone Software VGN-A417S https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-zone-software-vgn-a417s/m-p/37301#M101137 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The only way would be to buy a replacement set of your recovery DVDs.<BR />But it's up to you, I don't think VAIO-Zone is so good.
