Hey guys been a long time since I've posted here but I'm having a bit of a nostalgia trip, bought one of these off my friend back around 2009 and recently wanted to get one again. So just a few days ago I just happened to stumble (almost literally) over one at a recycling center with the keyboard and mouse! It's proving to be quite a nice machine but I'd like it to be factory original, so I was wondering if anyone had the restore or recovery discs on hand or knew where I could find some? Thanks!

Does this have Gigapocket? A TV tuner + flip down the front door where the XP + P4 stickers are

No that door merely hides USB and memory stick slots. No tuner on this guy.

If you want, ENX-26 is the right one and they're cheap. I can send you the Gigapocket software required as well, but it's for XP only.

Whatcha mean? This model wasn't supposed to have a TV Tuner.

That one was a lower end VAIO, the higher end ones from the same time came with TV tuners.

I might have something that will load, Windows XP with all Sony software installed. It is a direct image of my Vaio PCV-MXS20. You'll need to reload drivers, but the OS and applications should take.
