i have a sony vaio desktop computer i need to reinstall
windows but i don't want to lose all of my info and apps.
does anyone know how this can be done? the computer
didn't come with a windows disk just recovery disks and i
think that if i use them they'll wipe all my apps. any
sugestiond would be great thanks.
 
Jerry;
The Repair Installation uses a regular Windows XP CD.
You need to contact Sony to see what other options their system is set
up to do.
 
Yes.
Repair Installation:

Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
