Thank you for both of the replies, I have now got hold of Sony through their online support.

Despite having plenty of experience reformatting and reinstalling windows on computers, I have never come across something like this...(please correct me if I am wrong or suggest any ideas)

When installing windows I deleted what I thought was an obsolete partition on the hard drive. According to "the vaio support team" I have deleted the recovery drive of the pc. The only way to fix this is to buy the recovery disks from them for £31 which will then allow me to install the drivers.

I am not sure if this is true or whether they are just trying to "push" a sale to me.

Any ideas on the issue would appreciated.

Also, cheers for the two comments already
