The Windows Vista is dead on my Sony VGN-CR120E. I would like to reload it using the Image on the hidden partition but I have no clues to what key stroke will give this option at the boot sequence. I know it will be F12 on one of my HP but I do not know for this Sony.

Can you help, please

Thanks, Chris

I am a 65 yr young amateur computer user so plz excuse…just downloaded my company’s ofc XP disc into my Vaio laptop that’s brand new. Is this OK w/Wind 7 op system naturally installed? On another note been reading past comments, advice, etc., which has been helpful in prepping me. Thanking you, in advance for any assistance.

Hey David,

I just bought a sony vaio yesterday. It is the latest with an i3 chip, 14′. I did notice a butt load of sony bloatware that I wont be using. But I am a little unsure of what I can remove. I dont want to end up removing something I might need. It comes with Microsoft SQL server, and VC++ edition, and other sony software. Can you tell me what I should NOT delete? If it helps I can send you the list of software that is on my computer that I want to delete if that might help.

Thanks
Lucky

Not a bad computer, have had it for 3 years now and actually just reformated it and installed windows 7 and I have to say that I am pretty happy with its performace now. Before it was Just Blah… but now it starts up quickly and runs nice and smooth, cool and quiet!

Hope this helps!!

Hey David, I’m about 99.9% sure we have the same labtop. I saw your VAIO bloatware page which was a real help, thanks… but u know our laptop has some programs (which I believe to be) bloatware that u didn’t mention in the original post. I really would appreciate if you can let me know whether I should keep stuff like VAIO MOvie Story, etc. and other things that are not on the list but is on the laptop.

berlin: 2k seems pricey for a laptop for a newbie, unless you want an excellent gaming machine. I couldn’t tell you how Sony customer support is… never had to call them. And yes, you can remove any bloatware you want without voiding warranty. (Though keep in mind that the first thing Sony customer support’s going to have you do if you run into a major problem is restore your system to the factory settings, with all the bloatware.) Is Vista worth it? No. But you can’t really avoid it anymore, as Microsoft has stopped selling Windows XP. (You could, of course, go Mac or Linux.)
