I have a problem. I'm using Sony Vaio VGN-A19GP. I need to do a recovery for
this latop but when i insert the recovery cd, it cannot detect any of the
drivers. I dont have the windows cd but the original serial number is located
underneath the laptop. Where can i get the original bootable for windows xp
professional or can i downloaded it from microsoft? Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.

Do you mean "it cannot detect any of the *drives*" instead of "drivers"? If
so, then you have hardware issues and a software recovery (Windows) will be
useless. The recovery CD should return the machine to factory condition. If
you really meant "drivers" and the recovery CD is one that you made or if
it looks scratched, then order a new one from Sony. Otherwise you would
need to own a generic OEM Windows XP Pro installation disk. There is
nowhere you can "download" one legally for nothing.

F10 on boot will give you access to the recovery partition on most
Vaio notebooks.
