    You can download drivers from here-

    I'm assuming that you deleted your recovery partiton? If you haven't then booting up and pressing F10 should launch your recovery application software.
    I know with my SZ there is an application that will allow me to make recovery discs.

    You can contact Sony for a set of recovery CD's.
