Solved Restore Vaio system to factory settings w/o recovery disks / partition

[saba12m]

I wanted to install a different Windows 7 on my Vaio but when I selected a partition to install Windows on, it said:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
I searched online and found a program called GParted to fix the problem. What I didn't know was that it would delete all the partitions. I fixed the problem and installed Windows but I want to go back to factory settings. The problem is that I deleted the recovery partition. Is there any way to go ack to factory settings?? Can I download recovery files online?
Model no: SVS13A190X

Thank you

If you just want some of the sony utilities, or drivers -

Sony eSupport - SVS13A190X - Support

If you want the whole recovery disc - you might have to ask them to send it.

I'm not currently residing in the country I bought the laptop from. Would they have it in another country?

and I was wondering if you knew around about how much would it cost to get them sent?

Just look around on the Sony website, it shouldn't be that hard to find.

They don't sell the recovery disks online. That's my problem. I don't think they'd have this product's recovery disks in a different country.

IF the recov partition was on the right - there is a fair chance everything is still there.

Explaining how to access it is nigh on impossible.

The first link I can't do because I've already erased existing files.
As for the second link, they told me online that I can't buy the recovery disks online so I got really exited when I saw the second link. Unfortunately, they don't have my model no. for some reason.

Thanks for trying

It'd really be much better to do a clean reinstall. Comes without all the bloated junk software that comes with the computer. Click the clean reinstall link in my sig.

I actually just tryed to recover it with Partition Recovery Toolkit. It detects the partition. It's condition is "bad" ranging from ''excellent" to "very bad". But when I click recover it says it's overlapping with the C drive and that I need to delete that drive first. I was thinking of installing Windows on another drive to delete C and try to recover it but the Delete Invalid Partition is unavailable.

Thanks. I guess that's what I'll have to do.
