    Hello all I am new the the forum. About two weeks here. I have a VGN-FS850 that was given to me. The orginal Vaio software like programs, recovery, wallpaper, screensavers, and all of that have been wiped out as the hard drive was deleted and reformatted. I need to know where I can get all the proper drivers and software because I am about to reinstall XP and Vista Business on this machine. Also, in what order should I install the drivers. I have seen many threads about this but they are all different. I have all the necessary drivers but I need things like VAIO Zone, Update, and Sonicstage. Please help. Thanks in advance.

    did you fdisk your whole harddisk, if not, your restore partition might still exist, try press f10 when booting up the machine see if you can get into recovery mode.

    Yeah that F10 trick did not work. I tried like four times. I think they must have wiped to whole harddrive.
