Robin: its hard to say, it really depends on how Sony has there restore CD setup. I can format alright, but I can not partition at all. Sony and Toshiba are two different companies. So hard to say what your disk is like and how they set up thier restore disk. As stated in my post, Toshiba had used Symatics Ghost Program.
i am looking on disk to see what I can get done. I'll post back results. I am NOT ABOUT TO LET THIS DEFEAT ME in how I want my laptop set up.
