My comp is trying to reconfigure my audio driver because for some reason it stopped working and i dont have the software recovery disk and i cant find any drivers for my particular model. I use a Sony Vaio PCG-7R2L with windows xp service pack 2. Any help in finding either my audio driver or the SigmaTel High Definition Audio Driver would be greatly appreciated.
i have found no help on sony’s website

Hi, we have our laptop SONY VAIO PCG-FR315S for 3 years, constantly having problems with it. The best solution we find is to reinstall system from recovery disc. After the last reinstallation and updating with service pack 2 we can’t use any hardware via usb (apart from mouse). The computer detects the hardware but can’t run with it; updating drivers doesn’t help; device manager still shows yellow exlamation mark. Could you help us? We don’t want to reinstall system again to get drivers work properly.

I dont know what i did but i tried to put a new operating system. Before it was Window XP Home edition - Service Pack 2.

Then, i tried to install another Window ( Window XP Professional - SP2) and it worked well but my laptop screen (LCD 1280×800 widescreen) is now 1024×768 non-widescreen. it might be due to lack of monitor driver (Radeon-ATI)

So that another way, i need a sony vaio system recovery disc (Sony Vaio is no longer supply it with thier product)

Please help me and tell me what i should do to get my laptop screen back to widescreen and all drivers that need for my Laptop!

My laptop also has wirless LAN but it wont detect it.

Thanks and all the help will help.

I also dont want to spend any money!!

I have a sony Vaio, which never came with an installation disk.
I just had to have my western digital hard drive replaced by warranty.
My vaio recovery disks will not work this time around due to a bigger hard drive, but they did originally in 2008.
Being told motherboard may be dead, but bios runs fine.
Where can I get a windows XP installation cd, as I have a valid key code on my laptop, but sony offers no free service

I have bought Sony vaio - VGN-FS415B from UK 10 months back. I lost my warranty card as I was travelling a lot. Without this, I can not register my product with Vaio and without registering I can reach Support. I am in a dead lock.
1 month back, my vaio got crashed and forcfully I had to reformat the disk but I need to use my warranty facility to restore it back to factory condition. Another unfortuenate thing is I had not made recovery disk as well. Sony is the only stupid company whcichw ill not give us a recovery adisk ask users to preapre on their own.
Please understand my situation and help me to know from where I can get my vaio warranty number. On the laptop I could see only Service tag , SL Number and Windows License Key…but not warranty.

I just got a used Compaq Evo laptop running windows XP pro. It did NOT come with an OS cd or recovery cd. I do have XP Home recovery CDs for my Sony Vaio, but they dont seem to register with the Compaq.

I attempted to update from the vanilla xp pro to Service Pack 2, but towards the end of the install my computer crashed. Now when I try to boot it says "Non-system disk or disk error."

I do not have a cd in the drive or any usb devices attached. I do not have a floppy drive. I think the SP2 install messed up the Master Boot Record. I think I need to run Recovery Console but I do not have the Boot CD to get into it.

Does anybody have any advice or know where I can acquire an iso image of the windows xp pro boot cd or a bootable recovery console?

Thank you for your response.

I am bringing my SONY VAIO laptop to the Netherlands and it didnt come with a recovery disk. I am just wondering where can I find a place to wipe out everything and then reinstall the english version of Vista if something goes wrong? How much does it generally cost?

Thanks.
I dont know how to burn my own disk, thats the problem.
ow and i dont know how to use recovery disk either. XD

I have a Sony Vaio, i’m sure it has a virus on it but I can’t repair it if I can’t restart it the computer. I tried going to safe mode and all it does is start all over again trying to reboot it’s self. The recovery disk is useless every-time it tries to recover or restore an error message pops up. I’m trying to hold off on going to the professionals hoping some of you guys can help, thanks!
