I don't know what to do. I think i'm best starting afresh. But I thought, I don't have a XP cd so how am I able to start afresh? I have a Vaio recovery utility on my pc that says it will restore the laptop to "its original factory state" what does that mean? Is it when I purchased it? like with all the trial software on it and xp installed ready for me to set up?<BR /><BR />Please help, i'm really nervous. <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@28BE23B0C20952FC3409403FD1AA84A7/images/smilies/056.png" alt=":cry:" title=":cry:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 10:44:45 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74816#M90730 lawrenceuk 2006-08-13T10:44:45Z Re: Just problems... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74817#M90731 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Sorry, I don't think i've worded that very well. Basically what I mean is if I use the Vaio recovery utility will my pc be the same as when I turned it on for the very first time of purchasing it?<BR /><BR />Also is it easy to use the Vaio recovery utility? I have two hard drives, will this make the process easier or harder?<BR /><BR />If anybody could offer me help and advice i would be very happy.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:07:07 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74817#M90731 lawrenceuk 2006-08-13T11:07:07Z Re: Just problems... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74818#M90732 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Don't be, as you said the factory defaults means like the day you bought it.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:07:12 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74818#M90732 kee-lo_ 2006-08-13T11:07:12Z Re: Just problems... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74819#M90733 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks Kee-Lo.

I'll be looking to do it within the next hour. However there's just one final thing <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /> <BR /><BR />Once I go through numerous options I come to the "Recovery menu" Its asking me whether I want to recover drive C, C and D (change partition sizes) or finally a complete recovery. Which do I choose if I want everything back to it was the first time I turned my vaio on?<BR /><BR />Thanks once again <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.lt/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:19:55 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74821#M90735 lawrenceuk 2006-08-13T11:19:55Z Re: Just problems... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74822#M90736 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You want complete recovery.<BR /><BR />Remember to back up your emails and favourites, oh and files you cannot replace (photos, documents etc)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:23:51 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74822#M90736 kee-lo_ 2006-08-13T11:23:51Z Re: Just problems... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/just-problems/m-p/74823#M90737 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Will do.
