Works fine in the BIOS. It's a known issue with some vaio's apparently, but not been able to figure it out!

We have a Vaio VGN-FS415E laptop with a replacement Hard drive. With a clean install of XP everything works fine besides the keyboard, which doesn't work at all. We have no recovery CD, and obviously the recovery partition was on the knackerd HDD. Has anyone any ideas, or better still, a recovery CD? Sony want £37 for one!

Well I'm at St Wilfrid's and don't know who's won it. We find out next week. We are an IT only school, not a rebuild, by the way. Our building is only 6 years old!

We're CC3 here. Works very well, and we support primary schools with Server 2003 and CC3 is far better to manage. You can adapt it if you know what you're doing, whilst being able to let Modern Apps/Trainee's loose on it very early with the simplified management tools. We have Proxy (Smartcache 2) with them as well as the general stuff. We don't buy there machines any more, we have them built and they work like a dream. Kate, personally I'd suggest CC3 is ideal for someone part time like yourself, without the time a nd resources to invest in starting from scratch.
