Default XP Downgrade DVD ISO - SZ7 UK

I've uploaded an ISO image of the XP downgrade DVD which was supplied with my Sony SZ7 in the UK.
It's only one DVD, some people say their XP downgrade was on 2 DVDs so there may be differences in other regions.

I've created the archive using 7-zip (freeware). Winrar should also be able to extract the files.

I don't believe that's allowed at NBR, and sorry, I've already used my 3 reps for the day.

I hope it is allowed, took me forever to upload and then copy all the urls in to the post .

Sorry admins if I'm breaking the rules, please remove.

But it's more of a recovery image and not a straight forward XP install. It will only install on a SZ (I think).
No different to hosting VAIO drivers and utils.

SZ users are supplied with these DVDs, so who are you uploading these for? if you have a valid reason, please sent me a PM. And finally do not ask for rep on the forum. Thread closed.

Thank you.

Quote:
Welcome to the Sony® VAIO® Windows Vista® "Downgrade" registration page.

For a limited time, Sony® is offering customers the ability to order a Windows® XP Professional DVD to enable you to downgrade from Windows Vista® Business to Windows® XP Professional. This downgrade plan applies to the VAIO® TZ100 and SZ600 series only.

This recovery DVD includes Windows® XP professional with SP2, drivers, utilities and select applications.
A driver cd will most likely be acceptable to upload but a disk with a windows OS on it is not. Because of that, this thread will stay closed (I am sry you took the time to upload it).

If you need the CD, please contact Sony's tech support or see this page(for some models you have to order the downgrade disk):
