Solved: sony vaio help
just recently got a vaio pcg-z1wamp notebook, unfortunately, the hard disk crashed and i had to replace it with a new one and reinstall windows.

i've had no problems in searching for drivers online in the past, but the pcg-z1 is a particularly difficult model to locate drivers for. especially since the sony website isnt working very well.

so far i need the sound driver, video driver, wireless driver for the vaio or better yet a bundle of all drivers for the z1 family.

i have been able to find a few sites but none of them are free, i would pay for them but i dont have paypal or a CC.

any help would be greatly appreciated

If you go to http://www.majorgeeks.com and download Everest Home, install it and read the data, you may find the names of the relevant pieces of hardware. Sometimes, you even get a link to the download site. There is little point in paying for drivers and the possibility will always be there of getting more than you want.
