(Check your owners manual). If you don't make them, you will be SOL when it comes to restoration. For some models of Sony you can buy a set of restore disk from this web site. http://www.restoredisks.com | | B) and the other of the sony vaio laptop how to rid of the sp3 error | messages..

You don't reformat any computer with keys. You do it from a bootable system disk that has the right tools. The Windows XP installation disk will do it. The Sony restoration disks will do it. If you meant, what keys do I press to start a built-in restoration procedure, again check with your owners manual. You don't even give us the model number so we can help you.

You might be able get a manual in PDF from Sony for the particular model that you have. At the very least, you can find information on the Sony website for the particular model number that you have. You might think your questions are straightforward but your bad spelling and punctuation make your post difficult to read and can result in your not getting the answers you need.
