    Hi all,

    My 80g HDD went kaput on my VGN-FS810/w so I stuck a Seagate 120g in there and a fresh copy of XP Pro. I DL'ed all the drivers from the sony support site, but I am still missing all the OEM software.

    The biggest issue is that my hotkeys do not work, nor do my FN (blue) key's. I thought the driver downloads from the sony support site would get me going, but they haven't seemed to do anything at all. I don't even have DVDRW/CDRW support at the moment.

    Can someone PLEASE make me a list of the software and applications that came factory on the partition for recovery so I can try and track them down on the net somewhere? This is my #1 goal, the rest will fix itself when I get the programs and drivers needed.

    Side note: is there anywhere I can find that all in one spot from a user that might have put it up somewhere to help people who's HD died?

    Thanks in advance for any help! :)
