    Hi all,

    I'm trying to fix a friend's Vaio laptop, for which he has no orginal CDs. I bought a new HDD for it as the old one died on him, and I already installed WinXP Pro with SP2, but I can't install the driver's as I can't, for the life of me, find the ones that will work. I've been scouring the net for the files, but the ones that I got (found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-swu.pl?mdl=PCGV505DX) come up saying as "this is not made for your model" or something like that.. :(

    Do you guys have any suggestion on where can I find the drivers? Or what can I do to get this laptop back up and kicking?

    Thanks for your help!
