Download Windows disk and drivers disk?

[NickC_UK]

Is there anywhere I can download the drivers disk and windows media for a Sony VAIO all-in-one machine.  My hard disk has died and I need to reinstall windows but the machine did not come with any install CDs.

Thanks,

New HDD installed, recovery from cds worked fine.

This was just a bog standard current model (SATA III) disk drive.  No idea what rubbish Sony Support were talking about with these hidden files.

If you are able to pass a message back up the chain perhaps you could ask that Sony Support staff stop talking nonsense:smileyhappy:, remember their original comment:

Please be informed that in case you have changed the hard drive, due to copy rights and compatibility, Sony recovery discs will not be recognized by the hard drive.

Many thanks for your help Rich.
