lost Setup disk.

Hi my sony vaio vgc - v2m HDD recently died and was replaced. Unfortunately the cd supplied with the machine has been moved (I moved house twice since the purchase of the vaio!).

My question is how can I reinstall windows xp and have legally activated?  I still have the original product identification code, can I install out of any windows disk and enter my code?

Thanks for your help in advance!

You must contact Sony for a replacement... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you!

  • Lost the disk for Installation of Windows Vista - can I use my friends with my product key?

    I am running Windows Vista on my computer at home, but I had this for a few years, and he began to have very slow, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive, now I know how to do this, but I need to re - install the OS when I'm done, but I've lost my Windows Vista installation CD , even though I still have my code/product key - it would be OK to use my drive of Windows Vista to friends with my product code?

    I tried this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/326246and he do not seem to answer my question - I'm trying to replace my copy, I just want to know if it is OK to use my friends?

    Yes.

    As long as it's a DVD from Microsoft and not a computer Manufacturer'e Recovery DVD.

    Read the information below.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • I lost my disk of Vista for Satellite L305-S5940

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5940. I lost the Vista OS disks required to restart my hard drive crashed.
    What are my options to reinstall this software without the original disks?

    Jordan

    You can install Vista using Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you should find on Toshiba support site.
    I'm not sure, but I assume you have a model of cell phone US. If I'm right on this subject please visit Toshiba US page under assistance

  • Lost the disk for Satellite M115

    Does anyone know if Toshiba M115 came with a driver and OS disk when it was purchased?
    I need to restore my drivers and I can't find the disk and I don't remember having ever one.

    If I haven't lost it, does anyone know if Toshiba never sells additional disks and for how long?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The M115 Sat seems to belong to the series of the Toshiba laptop we.
    I m not very well, but I think the recovery disk came with the laptop.
    Only a few new models of laptops are delivered without the recovery disk because these laptops supports a recovery option of HARD drive and in such cases, it is possible to create a recovery DVD own s.

    You should be able to order the recovery of the ASP disk in your country.
    But if this drive is no longer available, then you might try reinstalling the operating system using the Windows XP CD own. The drivers of Toshiba and tools are released on the Toshiba driver page we.

    Hello

    You are welcome

    You are the best option, once you have reinstalled and active Windows, is to use the installation disc that came with the OS - Image then allows you to reload the operating system if you need to do it again.  Please see the link below for a complete guide on this procedure.
