The best way to resolve your issue is to contact Sony and get a replacment Windows recovery disk.
I Highly Recommend that you DO NOT download pirated software off the internet. Studies have found that pirated software often contains embeded Virus, Trojans, Keyloggers and other nastieness. The people that create the pirated software are already stealing, do you realy trust then not to include malware to also steal your Bank Account information (or maybe your World of Warcraft account) or steal your bandwidth by making your computer send masses of spam mail and so on.
Thank you, Darin MS
