    Hello All,

    I've a VGN-SR290 with Vista 64, I'm thinking to downgrade to XP but using official downgrade discs, are these discs available somewhere to buy them?


    Thanks

    I purchased a new Vaio with XP downgrade; notebook out of the box had XP installed but had recovery disks with Vista on them if you wanted to install the Vista system. These were 32-bit OS though. Have option to make recovery XP disks via the recovery center before installing Vista if desired, so essentially have recovery disks for both OS.
