Default Re: Major Hardware/Driver problems after Windows XP install on VAIO
If you're sure that the hardware is in good working order and the configuration is set up properly then you may have a bad recovery disk. In this case you would have two options...

1- Contact the folks at Sony and get a new recovery disk;
2- Install Windows from your normal installation disks and locate all necessary drivers on the Web.

I have used the second option several times when I have to reload Windows on Dell laptop machines at work. They are older systems and the recovery disks have long since been lost so they are reinstalled with licenses we have for Win98.
