    It's Y8315498A - this is the one for the 120/140/160P (XP Pro). I ordered it from the Sony DAPC ( http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/index.jsp). They are pressed DVDs :) The cost is $17.95

    When I get my SZ90 I was going to try restoring some of the apps and see what happens.

    I got mine a couple weeks ago(when I still had my old sz120). Not sure if it's going to work with SZ90 because when I tried to use it on my sz110, it said something about "this recovery disc is not intended for your pc". The recovery disc will try to verify your computer model before the recovery process....but then, that's a XP Pro recovery disc, and my sz110 is "supposed" to use the XP Home, maybe that's why.

    Sony never includes them - you can burn them or use the recovery partition. I'd rather get real media.

    Don't know. I called their phone number to get 'em. I figured I'd post the part # so people can ask for it since it's not on the website yet.

    I'm most likely not going to install the OS. I want it mainly to get Sonic Stage Mastering Studio - and on DVD 2 it looks like all those apps are there. I just need to figure out which .exe it is.
