dells do this alot too

im sure you have one hard drive with 2 partitions... the second partition would be your "recovery" drive... so if you have to reinstall vista, you would boot off that partition

While the system is starting note what key gives you boot options. Likely it is either F12 or F10. Hit that key and you should see Recovery Partition or something like that as one of the options. It is customary for Sony not to provide Windows CDs. So, you cannot reinstall Windows but can restore the system to the same state it was when you received it.

Uh, how about going to Sony and buying one?

Why the fuck should you have to do something like that? Kind of a jackass answer in my opinion!
