Hi Janne1000.

Download the Troubleshooting and Recovery Guide from here: -

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/manuals/RecoTS/2009Q3_TRG_EN.pdf

Your Vaio will not have come with a Windows disc as the recovery software is in a hidden partition on your hard drive.

You can make a set of Recovery Discs using an external DVD Drive (Page 6)

You can reinstall the Vaio even if you have not made Recovery Discs from the Recovery Partition (Page 9 or Page 10).

Good Luck.
