http://forums.dealnews.com/read.php?2,1936251,1936280,report=1 i read that and i dont have the recovery cd… any ideas?
If I remember correctly some Vaio’s have a hotkey utility that needs to be run. If it’s less than 3 years old it wouldn’t have recovery CDs it’s all on the hard-drive
Usually you can reinstall it by going to
Start -> Vaio Utilities -> Vaio Recovery
There should be an option for application recovery there,if I remember but it’s been over a year since I’ve done anything with those
If you go to esupport.sony.com, search for article C383968 it has some information that might help.
Sony does need the hotkey software for the volume… you may be able to download the utility… or call sony and they will rape you for them.
