    Hi guys.
    I'm living in Uk and using Vaio SZ650N
    But yesterday, i'm installed Linux so that I can't recovery my laptop with Vista Business. I checked but I didn't see the hidden part of Recovery in HDD. I don't have a recovery disc. So that, please help me. I need your help.
    My laptop is a gift from my parents.
    Who have the disc recovery for my laptop, please help me, copy for me, I will pay to you.

    Recovery discs, you make your own a the beginning.

    If you are willing to pay - contact Sony.

    Also, I'm not sure if it wouldn't be illegal for someone to sell you a copy as it wouldn't be your license key...

    But Sony should be able to provide you with a copy.

    Now about the recovery partition:
    It is hidden and thus has not got a drive letter in Windows, it is quite possible that Linux also is unable to see it.

    If you try all the "F-keys", possibly F10 or F12 (could be another one) you may be able to get into the recovery centre if it is still there.
