You've changed the OS on the machine. The only workaround is to install the OS that Sony supplied, then the applications CD and then upgrade the OS.
Before all that, we get to backup what we can't lose.
-> What's on that software CD that you need?

hello. i have a sony vaio (pcvrx540). While trying to use my application recovery cd i got the message "this recovery cd is not for your computer". so i went to the sony help site and found the solution for my problem. I need to reinstall my Sony Shared Library. Simple right? Well no. It is on the cd i can't access and because my computer is a few years old, sony no longer carries it for download. Well, after spending a whole day going round and round with the "livehelpchat" and e-mails,i have decided they can't help me. Does anyone on here have an idea? Can i hack my own cd? Thanks, Lizzie
