DOWNLOAD SONY LAPTOP RECOVERY DISC

[Guest]

I NEED RECOVERY DISCS FOR SONY VIAO MODEL VGNNS190J - MY HARD drive is failing after only eight months and they want me to BUY the recovery disc *55.00 plus 20.00 shipping...(OMG...what's the warranty for) and it only recvers the OS....nothing else....
Is there a Place I could download this for free???

Most likely not (legally speaking). Where did you buy the laptop from? Direct from Sony or a retail store of sorts? If you didn't get it direct from Sony, check with the store where you bought it, as they may have a deal to get you the recovery disks free of charge.

Yes, you can get it free (of sorts) and yes you can get it legally. You can reinstall your OS using an OEM Windows disk, which you can torrent off the internet. Using the key on the bottom of your computer, you can install it. Then just install all the drivers off of Sony's site. You won't get the bloatware that came with your computer, though, which can be good or bad, depending on what you want.
