    How do I do a clean Vista installation on my TZ using recovery disks? There is so much garbage on it from Sony.

    Congrats!! A little off topic but how about taking a bunch of pictures of your white TZ and posting them for us folks that have never seen an actual picture of a white TZ? :D I've only seen production and stock photos.

    You can't do a clean install using the recovery disk. You might want to refer to the semi-clean install thread in this forum. You could do a clean install if you have accessible windows anytime upgrade DVD (currently not available online) or a retail vista DVD.

    You can also get some help here
