    Hello,
    I bought a used TXN25N supplied with VISTA, I didn’t like VISTA so I made a recovery DVD and formatted the laptop, downgraded to XP. I successfully installed all drivers with help of the great threads I found here.

    Now, after I successfully installed the XP, I wanna make another recovery DVD for the system but the problem is that I don’t have "VAIO Recovery Wizard" which I used to make the recovery for VISTA, can I download this software from anywhere and make the DVDs?

    Thanks in advance.

    no, you cannot. the vaio recovery wizard works against the recovery partition to create an image from that.

    however, you can use a program like Acronis TrueImage or Norton Ghost to create an image of your new configuration.
