    Sorry, but because of licensing constraints we cannot help you with this. It is illegal to share a disc or download that contains a Windows license.

    You will need to contact Sony about it.

    If the hidden recovery partition is still on the machine all you need to do is hit the F10 key as you boot the machine. This will bring up a menu that allows you to use the hidden recovery partition to restore the machine.
