    Hi guys,

    I've been lurking for a while having a read of some of the useful things you lot have to say and am now having trouble with my own Vaio so thought i would see if you guys could help before having to pay premium rate phone charges by ringing sony!

    I spent some time trying to burn the recovery discs but always ended up with them failing at 6% so after wasting 12 dvds and then 10 cds trying i decided i woudl just recover using the F10 at boot method..... this is where my issues really started.... it began to recover but then failed and ended up rebooting and trying again.... endless rebooting cycle followed.

    to cut a ong story short i am now installed on a separate partition with a only slighlty functional XP version.

    Anyway my question is has anyone got an FS215B and willing to burn me the 2 recovery dvds and i woudl be more than willing to provide payment!

    I am in the UK (not sure where this forum's main reder base is) anyone able to help? I will ring sony but thought i might get a more pleasant reply from you guys than them!

    email me if you can help!
