Jen's Sony Vaio VPCCW14FX
Jennifer is in bed and I have my paws all over her new laptop while she's sleeping. This is the time I've really had a chance to check it out. Looks like Santa was good to her this year, for whatever reason. The specs on her notebook are as follows:
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T6600 (2.20GHz)
Memory: 4GB DDR3-SDRAM (DDR3-1066, 2GBx2)
Hard Drive: 320 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce GT230M GPU with 512MB dedicated VRAM HDMI™ output
Screen: 14" Screen (1366x768)
Camera: Built-in 1.3 megapixel MOTION EYE® camera and microphone
Optical Drive: CD/DVD playback/burning
Networking: WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth: Integrated Bluetooth® technology
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
For whatever reason, it didn't come with any install discs. I'm sure it's a cost saving measure. In any event, I called Sony tonight to get a ruling on this and they explained to me how to create a set of System Restore DVD's, which I promptly did, because I'm so...shall we say...detail oriented?
Start - Run - "care".
Allow "Vaiocare" to execute.
Select "Recovery and Restore"
Select "Create Recovery Disc"
They recommended using DVD-R's, but all I had was a platter of DVD+R's, so I'm trying those first. (Fingers crossed.)
