I bought one of these and it just recently crashed. To my astonishment, the recovery CD does not work. Anyone have a copy of this recovery CD you can send me? I installed a fresh copy of XP but none of the drivers were installed and my USB controller is not recognized and my DVD-RW will has trouble reading DVD's.
Hmmm. Try going to the manufacture's website (sony). Hopefully they have all the drivers you need available for download. I had the exact same problem and doing that fixed everything right up. Hope that helps.
