Sony Vaio VGC-LM1E Recovery reinstall

[soneigr]

I have the above machine with its recovery disks, I recently changed its hard disk because the original one that came from the factory shook them. I gave him a 500gb 7200 rpm. I would like to reinstall windows vista home premium from the recovery disks that I have, however, I get the following misleading message:

cannot use this recovery disc for the computer confirm the model type sony vaio
Do I have to do something with cmd to find the new hard drive I put in? From the bios you recognize normally, the factory reset of the computer simply does not proceed.

I wonder if the error occurs because the factory recovery information is on a internal drive on the disk you replaced?

We can give you an ISO with all the updates up to Vista EOL if you wish. It doesn't have Enterprise on it.

OEM key for Windows Vista should be valid as long as the motherboard is original, but apparently it does not follow that “recovery disks” can be used on a new hard drive. If those were burned about 15 years ago, then corruption is likely anyway.

Do not try to implicate other forum members (“We”) in distribution of custom ISOs of Microsoft products please: I for one have nothing to do with that! Such an ISO would include no drivers specific to a Sony Viao.

I said "We" because I got the ISO from S1W2. If he burns the ISO to disc and runs it to install Vista, he should be able to go to the Sony support website to get the drivers he needs.

It is windows vista home premium rtm I think if I remember correctly the facts that were installed on this desktop computer where I went to properties and saw the sony vaio logo the name of the manufacturer and the model of the series. I remember it had tapestry where VAIO was written along with some other sony programs that hardly exist these days or can be found. That's why I would like to restore it from the three recovery discs I have, but I don't know why this message appears.
If you can send me this iso in a private message so I can download it even though it won't be official from sony vaio

What do you mean if they burned down 15 years ago? The recovery discs have no error or problem I converted them to iso file format without problem and they still work fine. However, the question remains, why can't the machine, since it is on this machine that I wrote to them 15 years ago, proceed with the recovery to start the recovery partition.
I agree with your paragraph below that you say that they will not include program guides nor any other relevant program that existed at the time.

Did you ever use recovery disks with the original hard drive? If the old hard drive was cloned to the new hard drive, then perhaps they could be used, but I do not know. I burned a set of recovery disks for an HP in 2008, but the only recovery I ever actually did was from the “factory image” partition on the hard drive (which was already slightly corrupt by 2015).

Do you mean the original hard drive, which I don't have anymore? Yes, I did it in 2010 when I gave him windows 7 home premium and then I wanted to restore it to its factory format, I used these disks, the format was done by itself if I remember correctly from the many years and then the installation started from the beginning with the recovery discs.
