Hi Thalamus,
I have succesed in installing the driver for the mass storage, bluetooth, but I cannot switch off with the wireless utility, only with its own, installed Windvd haven't tried yet. What I notice though, since I installed the Intel chipset drivers everything seem to install. The only thing partially working is the keyboard, only mute with the Fn key, the multimedia wheel is ok but not the AV and S1 keys. I'm going to have another go to install from the recovery discs and see what happens.

Thank you for your time and sorry for not answering sooner, I was too tired last night and went to bed.
Thanks again.

Edit: All working!!!!! ( bluetooth, Fn keys and mass storage.) I think what has done it is having installed the Intel chipset. Still no joy from the recovery discs though. I would advice, from this experience, to install the chipset drivers first and then the other drivers/applications. Thanks again for your help.

Excellent, you're welcome..

I would still advise that you contact Sony Vaio Support, to explain your recovery partition and disc problems, at least then it's officially recorded..

Thanks Thalamus, I will contact Sony, as you say, so there is a record of a fault. The only snag that I have now, I didn't check it properly as I had to go out, is WinDVD. I managed to install it, did both the updates but it still wont recognise the BD, I also noted that in the title says: WinDVD for Vaio and not WinDvd BD for Vaio. Other than that the only thing I find really strange is that without all the bloatware the installation has taken 54GB and I haven't installed none of my apps. Thanks again

Hi Thalamus, Thank you very much for the PM. I have done like you suggested, contact Sony, registered on Esupport but strangely when I try to register my laptop serial number I get an error that its not recognised!!!!
Thank again for your help.

Update: This is the error I get when try to enter the serial:
Your Serial number could not be registered. An automated request has been sent to our e-Support Team to contact you in the shortest delay possible to assist you with the registration.
No one has contact me yet.

Almost forgotten, @ Thalamus the pm is all ok. Should the drive be listed as DVD BD RE* or DVD BD RW. Thank you

* Tis is how is listed on my laptop
