    You can always clean reinstall using the Product Key on the COA sticker to get a leaner, superior install without the factory crapware and utlities which have better versions built into Win7: Clean Reinstall steps

    But I would still try making your Recov Disks first so you have a path back to the factory install if needed, or save a Win7 backup image as it exists now which is the modern way to reimage your HD or its replacement in minutes: Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
    Dear gregrocker,
    Hi! Thanks a lot for the practical advise. You are appropriately REPPED:)!

    Try this link for further information in recovering the factory installed Windows 7 OS from your recovery partition.

    How to Recover Factory Settings on Sony Vaio Computer with Windows 7

    You have mentioned that there is no recovery partition on your hard disk. Can you post a image of your disk management showing partitions?

    Your Vaio should have 3 buttons just above the keyboard on the top right. They should be labeled Assist, Web, and Vaio. If you have the Assist button: with the computer turned off, click the Assist button once and that should automatically start the computer and open the Sony/Vaio Recovery Wizard. From there you can follow the prompts to access the hidden recovery partition, make recovery disks, perform troubleshooting steps, etc.
