Recently recieved spyware, reformatted the computer only to find i have lost the drivers cd. I have installed xp pro but need the drivers. After browsing through the vaio preinstalled drivers site i found the drivers were still missing. Can any 1 help ? Does any1 have all the drivers that come pre-installed and can you send them to me?
What are you missing in the way of drivers Rude-boiy? You should find all that is necessary from the pre-installed drivers and, just as importantly, the pre-installed utilities.
Thankyou for your quick reply
I have taken all the drivers off the vaio support site for my model but this has not been usefull. Could it be because i am now running on windows XP pro instead of the usual windows XP home edition.
I am missing these drivers:
Ethernet controller
Mass storage controller
Network Controller
PCI device
SM bus controller
Video Controller ( VGA Compatible )
I also need the vaio launcher software the laptoop came with
Have you tried installing SP2 prior to installing the drivers?
i will try that but dont u think i need the original driver cd
i have put sp2 package and i have been able to install some of the drivers i downloaded off the vaio support site however i am still missing the following drivers
- Ethernet Controller
- Mass Storage Controller
- Video Controller ( VGA Compatible )
The other drivers i have taken off the vaio site do not have setup files
attached to them
I appreciate all your help

I had the same Problem a few month ago. It took me some time to find all drivers I need.
The Massstorage driver, Modem Driver and Touchpad Driver are the only one you need from Sony.
Network -> http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=407〈=eng
(It's a driver for a desktop adapter. But dont take care about that. it works fine ;))
Mass Storage -> Sony Support Site. Download it under "Presinstalled drivers"
Videocontroler -> www.laptopvideo2go.com
A litte site with lots of nice coders and tweakers with offer the normale nvidia forceware drivers for Laptops. Not WHQL certified but who cares.
I can send you links to all drivers you need for your vaio, if you want to do a clean and fresh installation from a seperatre, none recovery XP-CD. Just email me unter dilirius@dark-echoes.de
