I bought my PCG-TR2AP when it first came out for about 3,000$.  It has (had) 30 giga which seemed terrific at the time; however, all the blasted software I didn’t use but was already loaded took up most of the memory. Anyway long story short I used the recovery discs I made to reformat and remove the rubbish I didn’t use and then it stopped working properly. So I bought some software to recover lost files and now I get a blue screen and have rendered the laptop useless. I only used it for travelling mainly Word and to download photographs. I don’t recall if I got Windows CDs with it, (can’t find them anywhere if I did) only that I made the full recovery kit which is proving (has proved) to be useless.
I’ve been toying with the idea of scrapping it and buying an Apple laptop for half the price. The thing is it should still work…and I used money I inherited from my dad so…for sentimental reasons I want the blasted thing to work again.

Help! Please.

I came across a posting on the Internet describing my problem and the hassle with the 9 cds and, after hours of searching for the original Microsoft OS, I see the write of this post says the PCG-Tr2ap didn’t come with any.  Hmm, so that’s why I couldn’t find them. When it comes to pcs i’ve wasted hours and hours and hours on them trying to get them to work properly.  I’ve not had any problems with my apple powerbook.  That said, I’d still like to get my little Sony up and running. I’ll never buy another PC but when it worked it was a neat little machine even with a mere 30 g all clogged up with useless software and all.
