MY laptop is asking for recovery disks, but I forgot to make them, now I can't get it to come on it's a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ4XWN/C

You need the recovery disk, one has Windows and the other has the device drivers.
This WEB site can supply the recovery disks.

You will need to purchase this from Sony, it's only $29.99. http://recovery-disks.com/sony/vaio-notebook/sony-vaio-vgn-cr220e-w.html

You will need a good disk recovery software. These utilities do come at a price. Email disk recovery experts such as Recover Data or Sony Vaio data recovery if they can help you.
Please share your feedback to help others.

At one time I forgot my vista password and I use Windows Login Recovery to create a password reset disk. With the disk I successfully reset my forgotten password. Hope to help you.

You can create your own disc from the Vaio recovery center.

If the computer is no longer booting up and the Vaio Recovery center is no longer accessible, you can call sony parts center to check if you can buy a recovery disc for your unit

If Windows appears, and start booting, then the problem concerns the operative system and not the hardware.

That is good news, because all you need to do is using the original computer recovery disk, or finding a Windows setup disk to reinstall Windows.

To reinstall Windows, start the computer with the Recovery Disk or Windows Disk inside and chose Boot from CD when asked, then follow instructions.

You probably need a recovery disk because you dont have the necessary drivers and the software that came pre-installed on your laptop. but instead of worrying about that, why not just get any operating system disk of your choice, install it, download the drivers for your laptop online and install them too, and interestingly you can also keep all the drivers you downloaded with the OS Disk incase of future necessity for your laptop repairs.
In case your decide to do this, the link to download the drivers for your laptop is :

Happy Installation!...lol

Check your user manuals and see if there is a recovery partition mentioned in there. If there isn't then you will need to buy an operating system cd and reinstall from fresh.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your recovery dics should not be a dvd, but a cd. look at all of your discs and make sure you are using the right one, if you cant find the right one call sony and ask them which one to use.
