Recovery disc: not for this model? Radeon IGP 345M drivers?

I'm the happy owner of a PCG-FR415S Vaio. After some troubles I reinstalled XP, but could not get the original Radeon IGP 345M drivers anywhere (except for Omega stuff etc). So, I tried restoring the original config using my Recovery Disc. However, after starting from this disc, I get a message that says something like "disc is not for this model of computer"! What the &*%*&^ ???? So, what to do now? Can I get these drivers? Or what is wrong with my discs (I've got both a Dutch and an English version of the disc). I want these original drivers!

I hope I do not place a double topic, but it's very hard finding something on this forum, for I cannot find generic search functionality... or is it my ignorence? Please, can someone help me out?

Call VAIO-Link

No worries about double posting, so many people do it I just ignore the second one. There's no search until probably August - so I wouldn't panic

If you have recovery DVDs for both languages, you need to boot on the one that you machine was started the very first time.

Once you select the desired language after purchase, the BIOS is being rewritten and you can only recover in that specific language...
