    1. If i go into vaio recovery center and do wipe data and erase file, will the notebook automatically reinstall the OS or what?

    2. If i back up my data and reformat my computer, will the backed up data be lost also?

    3. Any recent guides/updated to reformatting to vista? I have my own disk and im wondering if i can just reformat, install it, and reinstall the drives from the sony website.

    4. When will we be able to upgrade to W7 through the program? I know the offer started on the 26th but when do we get the chance to actually upgrade?
