    By going through a lot of thread below, I have seen many Vaio users who have not create their Recovery DVD or CDs. While it's available through Sony for approx. $20, I think it's still worth while spending approx 30min or more to create Recovery DVD as soon as you open your new Vaio notebook. Once you have done that, you can party on with your Vaio. :D

    This is the lesson I have learned spending many hours trying to recover many of my Vaios :)

    speaking of recovery disks i went through the contents of mine and i see some of the bloatware files in it (mostly on disc 2) . has anybody been daring enough to deletee some of the cntents of the bloatware to see if it reinstalls them during a recovery install?

    I would love to be able to do a clean isntall without the bloatware! I made two sets of recovery disks when I first got my Vaio.
