    Hi
    Does anyone have experience with how fussy the recovery discs are?
    ie Could I use recovery discs from an SZ1XP on a Japanese SZ? I have access to the discs and would like to convert a Japanese model to English language.
    Also, having seen the thread regarding clean install and all the trouble the drivers have caused I found this UK site - is this still not a practical solution?

    thanks for any help
