[Solved]Windows 7 corrupted after installing backup
jmk909er:
Yeah Sony subs their recovery discs out to different vendors. I was surprised also. It is just an electronic copy and they really should just give it to you free since you already paid for it when you bought the lap top!
I got a new copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium from Fry's Electronics
It was an expensive fix $100 for Premium Sony Support and $100 for the new Windows 7 but it was still a lot cheaper than buying a new laptop. I really needed this laptop working because it is the one my 2 kids use for school stuff. I don't want them on my wife's or my laptop jacking things up with gaming, and indiscriminate downloads!
Boggin:
Yes, I agree that $200 could be a good investment to prevent them screwing up either your wife's or your laptop :)
The reason I was asking about the source of Win 7 was because MS no longer supply anything Win 7 and you have to be careful when buying from other sources that you don't end up with an OEM install disk, which can have its own problems.
jmk909er:
I think it was an OEM disc and Sony did have issues with it but they got it all working.
Boggin:
Can you go Start - type activate windows and press enter to ensure MS recognise it as a valid install.
jmk909er:
I am at work right now but I will check it out this evening when I get home
