Hi Every One.
My son gave me his Sony VAIO and like a good Dad he's asked to repair it. Well he's completely totalled the HDD by formatting. And seeing as though this is my first futile attempt at recovering this I am at a loss. The disks that he had are completely buggered, and there's no recovery partition. Is there a place I can download the complete set of system recovery disks? Or does any body have a spare set they no longer need.
Many Thanks In advance
Ian

Hi Ian,
welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:
It may be worth starting your vaio and when you see the Vaio logo press the F10 key repeatedly as this should start the recovery process, it's worth a try just to be sure that the hidden HDD partition has been formatted..:smileywink:
If the hidden HDD recovery partition is as you benn formateed then you can, if you wish, purchase a set of recovery discs from Vaio support which should allow you to restore the original Vaio supplied OS and applications..
You can find the contact details for vaio support by either clicking Support at the top of this page or by using the following link:Vaio support
Under Log-in option 1: Enter your vaio models serial number, which you should find on the bottom of your Vaio.
Then next Select Model..

Hi Thalamus
Thanks for the reply. have done the F10 thing and no joy, it just says no operating system. Not even a C: Drive is visable. looks like a proper job on the formatting side of things.
If no one else can help with disks i'll ring them in the new year...
Merry Christmas
Ian
