    Hi!
    I own a Sony VAIO VGN-T17GP (It's an asian model) and I had some troubles with performance and decided to reinstall Windows XP.
    That didn't fix the problem and in fact made ever more problems.
    Found that the problem was in motherboard so bought and replaced it.
    No more BSODs :)
    When I tried to find original drivers(not updates) I found some of them but still missing, but I don't have any utilities like VAIO Zone.
    What should I do to get back all those utilities?

    What should I look for?
    Recovery Disc or Recovery Files or what?
