    Hi


    I was wondering if someone could let me know of anywhere i can purchase a recovery DVD for the Sony Vaio VGN-S380? I did not make a recovery disc when i originally got the laptop. I wanna get rid of the partition for the recovery so that i can free up some exra HD space.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    If you still have the partition on your hard drive, you should be able to create a recovery DVD out of that anytime you wish.

    Yeps, just start up Vaio recovery tool (or download it and re-install it if you have removed it, you can find it on the Sony support page for your country and model) and burn your recovery disks. It's the first thing everyone should do after starting up their new notebook for the first time.

    Thanks for your help guys.
