    OK, I just picked up a Vaio CS (P8400, 4GB, 320 HDD, Vista HomePremium x64). I printed the Semi clean install procedure, but when it came to copying the Vaio Recovery folder (step 2) I could not find the Launch.exe or Launcher.exe file. I checked in both directories mentioned in the orig instructions.

    I found the Sony and the Sonysys folders, found the Vaio recovery. I don't expect there are many CS machines out there, but what other file names have you all found this Launch file to be called?

    I don't want to do a clean install; trying to avoid that much work. Thanks!
