Hi All, hopefully I can get some help.
Was given a Sony Vaio PCG-NVR2 laptop. It has tons of software on it, and also TONS of viruses. (One of which makes the PC shut down after about 5 mins)
Anyway, I want to wipe the PC and reinstall windows and then just update all drivers fresh from inside windows. However, there is no hard disk detected. I assume XP needs the sata drivers and this model must have a newer sata drive but I can't find the driver anywhere.
Any ideas??? And if anyone knows where I can get the driver please post a link. Can I pop it on a CD and read it after the F6 during install or will I need to have a floppy? I don't have a floppy, so only other option is to slip it onto an XP disk first.
I do not have the recovery CD that came with the laptop.
