    My laptop had this disc called:

    VGN-SZ700 series Recovery DVD
    Windows XP Professional

    Will this do a clean install with drivers???

    The WinXP recovery disc rocks!

    It basically installs XP pro with minimal stuff on your SZ750.

    I only had to uninstall Norton 360, Corel Draw, AOL toolbar. Runs like a dream!

    BTW this machine with Nvidia 8400GS can run WoW on high settings no problem!
