    I've got everything up and running perfectly (so much faster without the bloat!) except for the power media dock (PMD)...

    The drivers for my VPCZ2390X are downloaded here.
    Sony eSupport - VPCZ2390X - Support

    I formatted a while ago and rarely use the PMD, but it's the last thing that's bothering me about the setup.

    I tried looking around for information but there seems to be a few variations of the Z. I'm not sure which one I have since it's a custom model.

    The jargon on this forum refers to either:
    - Z
    - Z2
    - Z6
    - Z11/12?
    - VPCZ1

    The PMD I chose has a DVD drive (not blu-ray) with an AMD Radeon HD 6650M.

    If there's a way to get it working without having to reformat/reinstall the drivers in order, I'd like to give it a try. If not, oh well it's a necessary evil.

    Any help regarding this would be much appreciated!
