When i try to create a recovery disk its telling me the recovery drive is not there

Reading your other post have you tried restoring your vaio using the recovery partition.?

As you probably know your Vaio has a hidden HDD recovery partition so as long as it has not been deleted or damaged by the virus you should be able to recover your Vaio back to the original installed OS and programs just as it was when you first used your Vaio.

To do this Start your Vaio and when you see the Vaio logo screen press F10 repeatedly this normally would start the recovery process..

Sorry for starting a second thread lol

F10 only gives me the options of deleting either drive c or the whole computer which without the recovery cd or anyway to create one i didnt want to do that

When Vista reinstalled I noticed it installed on a partition so im assuming that the other partition would be the recovery part which assuming again it would have the drivers i need to use my wireless and such?

You do not need recovery disc's when using F10 to restore your Vaio.

However if you are happy to not have the pre-installed applicationand wish to continue with the retail version of Vista, then should find the drivers & utilities on the support site.

To access the support site click on the link at the top of this page, then seledt your model. Then click on downloads and dowload the original pre-installed drivers & utlilities.
