Hi,
I would like request for help as I have following problems.
I have recently formatted my laptop but I don’t have recovery disc. So
I have loaded some of the drivers by downloading from internet. But the
problem is that I have more problems them before ….so can any one tell
me how I can get the previous drivers from internet. I have checked
with Sony online support link but failed to get the drivers of my
specification. I will be very thankful if anyone can help me to solve
this problem. Plz help me. Following is the specification of my
laptop.
Thanking you.

Well you don't list any sony components,why are you at thier site.As for
whats listed,nvidia web site has downloads,also look in windows update
catalog.Also,recovery disks are used only with oem boards or computers,
as for the rest of us that dont use oem recovery,after a xp reinstall most
head to mfg web site for drivers,either way,what drivers that might come
with a recovery disk are usually outdated.

Unfortunately this is a case of learning the hard way. If you ever do this
again, ensure you download and save to cd or whatever all the drivers you
will be needing, before reformating.

You might try the following sites for all drivers as well as all update
software for your particular Sony laptop model:

1. Original Drivers for your model:
http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-li...eType=Original

2. All software updates and drivers (requires some thoroughness in picking
the right ones!):
http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-li...ype=Everything

The Model number you have is identical with the Sony PCG-FR130 supposedly. I
cannot guarantee this though!

Hope this helps.
