whoops, yeah changed it now home premium i got

Ok, so ive been havin problems w/my vaio desktop w/re:Vista. I canot open any network connections, I cannot even update, install games etc... So I thought its time to wipe and start afresh. So I need to create recovery discs. The troubleshooting guide tells me its as simple as opening the recovery toll and follow the steps shown.... Vista will not even open this program. I can only open it in Safe Mode and when I do that it tells me that my vaio is not recognised as a sony vaio!? Any ideas? Vaioboi
