Sony Vaio F540

[payjo]

I know this is probably a shot in the dark, but I need to format my sister's Vaio 540. The only problem is I can't seem to find the System Restore CD. I was hoping that someone in the Anandtech community might have theirs. PM if you do. I'm desparate.

Use your cable adapter to connect the floppy drive to the printer port and put an install disk for your operating system de jour in the CD-ROM drive in it's bay. Boot from a WIN98 floppy and install. A normal CD install disk will not boot in a Sony Vaio because they use some finarky proprietary CD boot scheme.
