  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  Tricky

• Anyone know where I can get or download a copy of Windows 95 or 98?

  Hello. I am also looking for windows 98 or windows 95.  If no one can download windows 95/98 from the microsoft Web page, proceed as anyone know where I can download or where can I find windows 95/98, not the OEM version (I still windows 95 and windows 98 OEM version and can't do the parameter as windows on my computer because they are OEM)

  Thanks for the responses,
  John
  original title: Windows 95 / Windows 98

  I know well like a legitimately safe for download - no version.  Perhaps a few TI friends could have a copy lying around - to ask them.

  With regard to the implementation of OEM compared to the other - it would work whether or not it would be legitimate is another story.  However, it works very well and given operating systems - I wouldn't foresee any problems.

• Where can I buy a legitimate copy of windows xp with a cd key that is not OEM?

  I have a mac with bootcamp.  He is not powerful enough to run Windows 7 and vista is a Devourer of resources. Is there a place to buy a legitimate copy of Windows XP with a valid CD key?

  I have a mac with bootcamp.  He is not powerful enough to run Windows 7 and vista is a Devourer of resources. Is there a place to buy a legitimate copy of Windows XP with a valid CD key?

  Two points:

  1. the resources required for Vista and Windows 7 are very similar. I wouldn't say one or the other a "resource eater."

  2 Windows is sold is over (unless you can find a store that still has old stock). Essentially the only way to buy these days is to find a copy used on sale somewhere. But if you buy a used copy, be very careful to ensure that it is not hacked and avoid places like eBay.

• where can I get a new copy of my windows operating system disks

  I need to reformat my hard drive. I can't find my original operating system disks. Ho do new copies? (Windows XP Home edition)

  If it is preinstalled with your PC, you will need to contact the manufacturer. Often, they will send you a copy of the disk if you are still under warranty. You can also use any other copy of Windows XP and activate using the product key available in a label on the CPU.

  If it's a retail copy, you need to talk to Microsoft and to pay for the copy. If it's Volume License, you can download the iso and burn it to a CD, or pay for the media.

• Can I download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license

  I have a Dell Precision 380 opportunity with Windows XP Professional, which was already installed. I have produced key but no disc and can not get windows to run right or internet page explore wants same load. I can download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license (I need to read the original CD and not any copy)?  If not, can I use to reinstall an authentic copy of Windows XP (since I was a valid product license) without having to buy a new version of Windows?

  No, it is not downloadable.
  The person who gave you the PC should have provided the disk. Otherwise, you're out of luck, unless you know somone who has the same version of the OEM Dell software that you can borrow.

  Where can I find the ORIGINAL of my Windows XP copy?
  Here are a few things on my laptop:
  • Dell Inspiron 8600 BIOS revision A14 (Note: I bought you BIOS Revision A02) I've updated.)
  • Original OS: Windows XP Profesional 1-2CPU

  Please, do not post your product key.  That said to check the owner's manual, as your computer probably includes a "recovery partition", which you access and use to restore XP provided the factory by pressing one of the keys to fuction (F key) keyboard when you first turn on the computer.

  Try the following to get started:

  (1) backup important data files. Be prepared to re - install your applications.

  (2) restart the computer, when the press of the dell logo displays the computer screen and hold down "ctrl" and press "F11".

  Please use the Forum for answers and help to test Windows 7!

  Windows Movie Maker is no longer included in Windows 7. Be sure to check the Windows Live Movie Maker beta available at http://download.live.com/moviemaker.
