I was then able to edit the video clips on the tape and produce DVDs. This program enabled me to connect my Sony DCR PC350E video camera using Mini DV tapes to the laptop via an i-Link S400 cable.
#Sony vaio windows 7 recovery disk movie
The program was Picture Movie Browser ( PMB ). The main reason for wanting to recover the original factory settings for Windows 7 and the VAIO software, was that I wanted to be able to use a VAIO program for video editing that is no longer available. If anybody in the Sony Community, and particularly those members who still own this Sony VAIO laptop, can help me in any way, I would be most pleased to here from them. So far, I have been unable to obtain these disks anywhere. I have attempted to obtain 3 more recovery disks from, for example, Sony Corporation, various web sites on the Internet and VAIO Corporation ( Japan ).
So, I now have a laptop which cannot be used, and a recovery disk 1 that fails during the recovery process.
It looks as though recovery disk 1 has somehow become corrupt. When I attempted the recovery process starting with recovery disk 1, the recovery failed part the way through this disk. But recently, I needed to carry out a complete recovery of the operating system ( Windows 7 ) and pre-installed Microsoft and Sony VAIO programs from the 3 recovery disks I had produced just after the purchase of the laptop. I have had many years of successful usage from this laptop. In 2010, I purchased this laptop from a Sony Centre here in the UK ( city of Lincoln ). Does anybody happen to still own and use a Sony VAIO VPC F11M1E laptop?
