    Hi all,
    I've just bought a Vaio FZ345D and try to Clean install windows. After everything is done (install drivers and Vaio softwares), I go to Computer > Properites and see that the Vista detects the wrong manufacture Dell instead of Sony. It's so funny. Please advise me what to do to change it manufacture to SONY :)

    Thanks all
    Luat

    I am sure you DID use a DELL OEM dvd for the clean install. That is the ONLY way this would have happened. You can clean install again, but if you use this same DVD the same thing will happen again.
