If it hadn't been formatted, most Sony Vaio systems will have a VAIO recovery wizard which can be used to create a set of CDs called the Recovery Media Kit that will enable you to do a system recovery on your Sony VAIO machine. If you are lucky enough to know someone with the same model computer you could make a set from their system.

Otherwise, you can call Sony at 1-800-488-SONY to have them send you the disks for a small fee.

Sometimes there is a back-up partition on a hard drive that is setup by pre-loaded software. if you boot your computer by holding F11 or in some compuers F12 it will go to a restore to factory default software.

Hope this works for you!
