Hi Lee,

Download your Troubleshooting and Recovery Guide from here: -

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Manuals/RecoTS/2007Q3_RT_EN.pdf

Follow the instructions on Page 36.

You will, of course have to reinstall all the Microsoft and Vaio Updates.

Good Luck.

You can 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..

Then click Log-In

Once logged select Get In Touch.

Then Click on the Out of Warranty tab, then Phone support.

The price can vary depending on Vaio model..
