By default, the system will perform a complete reformat and will destroy all user data. 8. Restart the PC when prompted. As an alternate method to the steps above, click Advanced Options , and select the Destructive Recovery option, and click Next to begin the reformatting process. The PC is in the original factory condition and all system data, such as location and date must be reconfigured.

If you didn't get a disc the option to create restore discs should be there, have you looked in all programs - Sony? Anyway some Vaios use the method below, so worth a try. Hold down the Alt key and start tapping F10 as soon as you switch on to bring up the option.
