    I just reformatted my windows vista business to 7, but, I don't have any of the drivers. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ660N. I decided that I wanted to go back to vista, but when I tried the system restore function on the system recovery tool thing at the start of my laptop, it says that I either do not have the drive for revery, or not enough memory or something like that. I don't even have the recover disk for my laptop either, does anyone know how to fix that? If not, can someone please tell me where to get the drivers for 7 for my laptop?

    You need to go to the Sony forum here on NBR. There are folks there that will be able to give you specific info. When referencing error message, you need to quote the exact text of the message. A "something like that" is not going to help anyone diagnose the issue.

    If you "reformatted" windows vista as well as removing the recovery partition, then there's no hope of using the recovery partition to restore the vista image.

    Well, if the recover partition is the one that is labeled, Partition Disk 0(recovery), then I still have that.
