Have a look <A href="http://kb.sony-europe.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=48,E=0000000000024862256,K=742,Sxi=8,Case=obj(18622)" target="_blank">here</A> for a guide to this procedure. Most people advise making two or three copies of these disks.<BR /><BR />For a guide to reinstalling individual applications from the HDDR partition have a look at <A href="http://kb.sony-europe.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=48,E=0000000000024862256,K=742,Sxi=8,Case=obj(45506)" target="_blank">this</A><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Aug 2005 11:54:58 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/notebook-software/m-p/123378#M105896 rich912 2005-08-08T11:54:58Z
