How Do I Reformat a Sony Vaio EB Without a Recovery CD?
Question by josh: How do I reformat a Sony Vaio EB without a recovery CD?
I bought a Sony vaio EB last year and it did not come with a recovery CD. According to a bit of research, people just said press F10 on boot to select recovery option. Others said reformating without a recovery disc will make my laptop useless since it will not have windows 7 anymore. Can someone who own or know about sony vaio system tell me what to do? Will I have to purchase a windows 7 to reformat?

The computer will not allow you to reformat it by itself.
Buy and install the windows 7 disk and load. (easy way)
If you really want to reformat it, then remove the hard drive from the laptop, hook up to another computer, reformat (this part is difficult if it is your first time.)
