Hello,
I have purchased a new Maxtor h/drive to replace my current older h/drive. I have a Vaio computer. After installing the new h/drive, I used the "Clone" feature from the disk that came with the new h/drive and received the missing operating system when I boot up on the new h/drive. So, I loaded the Vaio System Recovery Media Disk from my old drive and the same message came up when I tried to reboot from the new h/drive. I don't have a Window XP disk because when I purchased the Vaio computer from Fry's, the Window XP Media Center Edition was already installed but no disk came with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 2.0.0.17
