Given: Sony vaio laptop. Win7 home premium on board. The warranty is long gone. And there were no papers left.
Dead Winchester. How to be here? I see the following options:
1. I buy a new screw, I install the Windows distribution kit, pumped out of the network. I activate the key from the bottom of the laptop.
2. I contact Sony to get a recovery disk with Windows to install on a new hard drive. All in order to have vaio care to restore Windows in which case, as well as other goodies from vaio.
3. Your option.
The second is just my speculation. Who knows, tell me about it.

Option 1, easier and faster you will have a working machine

I prefer the first option, especially when it comes to Sony laptops - it's easier to install the system from scratch than to rake out Vaio something and Vaio something from the preinstalled one. Even new Sony laptops, as a rule, I immediately start up the format, and then put it clean.

or maybe specify the model of the beech, let's see what is on the open spaces of the network on the recovery disks

Correct sequence of actions:
1. Remove the screw. If the process is not obvious:
a. According to the marking of the model and those. the docks from the Sony website determine the type of hard drive to replace.
b. The network is looking for a service manual for disassembling this model.
2. A hard drive compatible with this model is bought and installed.
3. Download drivers for this model from esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-home.pl?mdl=VGNC290&LOC=3#/downloadTab .
4. If there is a backup image of the previous system made, for example, by Acronis, we roll it.
5. Only Win7 home premium is activated by the key on the bottom. If one is not at hand, we put any assembly from torrents.
Good luck.

On the second point - get ready for the fact that they charge for the carrier, comparable to the purchase of a new license.
