    Is there a way to create a Windows Vista Installation disc from either the Hidden Partition or Recovery discs? I am not talking about a "Factory Restore"... I am talking about installing a clean version of Windows using the product key on the bottom of the laptop and then using the sony website or Recovery discs to install the drivers. I have been searching this forum and the internet for the past couple of days and I can't find instructions for exactly what I am asking. Maybe it is not possible?

    Can you use the Windows CD Key on the bottom of your laptop?
