Hi friends,

Im new here, and just bought my Vaio

FS215B

I bought from a friend of mine and he lost all the CDs or DVDs that came with the notebook.

So, Where can I get or download the recovery CDs?

Thanks and sorry if the question is old.

Hi lorde vader,
when you buy a VAI0 notebook from new you would normally make you own recovery disk from the hard drive useing the program preinstalled on notebook. goto..

START-PROGRAMS-VAIO RECOVERY TOOL-VAIO RECOVERY UTILITY. Once your there youcan create your recovery disk.

if that does not work then you can order them from sony i think but they can be hard to get and expensive.

Be sure to use decent quality CD/DVDs, RW ones won't work and you might want to make a couple of copies to make sure and fire off a letter to Sony asking why they're so cheap you have to pay for your own.

My FS215B doesnt have this HDDR.

I tried to follow your advice, but Star + Programs + XXXXXX . I dont have the Vaio Recovery Tool.

I think my model of Vaio dont have this proceeder.

Does anyone know about a download link?

Are the recovery Cds the same for all vaios? Can I try to find someone here in Brazil who has this CDs and Make a copy?

Im in Brazil now. Sony don't sell Vaio here.

Do you know if the CDs are the same for all Notebooks Vaio?

I think is more simple for me here in Brazil, look for anyone who has a Vaio like mine.

This Forum is very helpfull. ..

That wouldn't work, my dark Lord.

The Model and Serial number are in BIOS. If you insert the Disc, then it checks whether it's the correct VAIO. Simple, you couldn't use them. You would get an Error message like *This is not a certified Sony machine* or something like that.
