Hi All,
I bought Sony VAIO laptop a year ago. Few months back my harddrive crashed and it was beyond repair. Since my laptop warranty expired the service center denied support unless paid for it. Hence, i choose to go with non authorized service centers, who configured a new harddrive on the machine. The original harddrive was broken and the support center guys could not recover data from it. As a result the "Assist" button is useless, because the assit file couldn't be recovered.
My question is:
1. Is there any way i can make "Assist" work again with the new harddrive, if yes kindly share the procedure ?
a. In this process will i get the default WIN 8 (Original Ver).
2. Can i completly del the "Assist" functionality from the machine ?
I am not good with laptops & configuring them. While installing WIN 7 through assist, i was unable to read the files from pendrive, DVD, CD etc. In future, if i have to restore my laptop or recover it, it would be quite a hassle without the assit button. If we cannot recover the functionality, i would like to remove the function completly & use it with ease, so that i can install any OS i want at any point.
Thank you,
Abhijit
