Hey guys.

I’m working on a sony vaio for a customer.

I need to clobber the vista installation, and just reimage it from the onboard vista image.

What is the key to recover from the hard drive?

She told me it didn’t come with the vista cd, I can’t find the option to reimage it from the recovery partition.
