ignatz: I have Dells and HP - both have recovery parts. Both vendors protect the part and that's probably why the Sony recovery part is represented differently by DiskMgmnt and computer, but I'm not sure. I've never been close enough to a Vaio.
But yeah, if biturbo can get the software to launch the Sony recovery manager then a factory restore would allow a restart (get the key, write it down, reinstall Win7 ISO.
