Hi,

I have a VAIO VPCEB1Z1E laptop. I deleted the complete hard drive and installed a new OS after I bought my computer 2 years ago. Now, I would like to restore my computer to factory settings, but I do not have Recovery CDs.

One of my friends has the same model (VPCEB1Z1E) laptop. My question is, is it possible that I create Recovery CDs using my friend's computer and use them to restore my laptop? The issue is that, although the same model, her computer has a different "version" code (the 8-digit code beginning with "C60...", printed on the Service Tag under the computer). The same code also appears at the BIOS data of the computer, under System Information:

System Information

Manufacturer: Sony Corporation

Product Name: VPCEB1Z1E

Version: C6045YWV

Buying a new Recovery CD costs too much money, so I would be very happy if could use the ones created by the other computer.

Any comments would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
