Hello everyone,
Recently I purchased a Sony Vaio laptop for my wife, advertised on
recycle-it. This was sold on behalf of someone who had purchased it
just over two months ago from their local Dixons shop. When it
arrived, we couldn't understand why there were no software discs
included. I phoned our local dixons and was told this is now the case
with new laptops. The C: drive is partitioned into C: and D:, the
latter used for making backups. There is a hidden partition used for
recovery in case of a system crash. when you first boot up there is a
flashing message prompting you to make a system backup on read-only
CDs or DVDs. the idea of the recovery on the hard drive saves you
having to take discs with you when travelling. Has anyone else had
experience of this?
Best wishes,
Clive pallett
