It's quite an old Sony Vaio thing, the model number of which escapes me right about now. However it's DVD drive does not work. It fails to see USB devices plugged into it for booting purposes so an external DVD drive is out.
It's recovery partition has long since been deleted too, so thats out also.
Right about now I'm doing the worst job ever and manually uninstalling all the software loaded on it in an effort to gain some HDD space.
40 gig hard drives don't take long to defrag these days do they ?
However any suggestions greatly appreciated.
