    You don't necessarily have to use a disk, unless you want to.

    Start > Vaio Recovery > Vaio Recovery Tools > Restore complete system. This will bring your Vaio to factory settings.

    you can remove everything you want and use an imaging program like acronis or norton to make a backup of the stuff you wanted.

    as for using a sony to make a disk, do a search on the threads. one person was only partially successful.
