Before doing any changes to your computer:
Make sure you create a restore disk so that in case you want to revert back to the preinstalled Vista it will be possible. To create a restore disk just type "restore disk" in in VISTA help.
Be warned you could possibly make your laptop inoperable if you don't have a restore disk.
First of all you need to find and download all drivers for your laptop and use nlite to integrate all or almost all drivers to the Windows XP installer.
Take note that you can only use the latest release of Windows XP service pack 2 for evrything to be sucessful. (service pack 1 or SP1 integrated c SP2 may not work)

how i install mass storage device
in VGN-NR-120E
thanks
What kind of mass storage device are you trying to install?
Have you installed Windows Xp?
What Version of Windows XP did you install? (service pack1 or 2)
Usually with mass storage device like external harddrive, when you plug it into the USB port, Windows will automatically recognize it.
would anyone be able to provide me with a Copy of the downgrade already spliped streamed on a torrent site ?
most drivers on this are no longer on there ,
Vgn Nr120e
blown_si@hotmail.com
Sorry can't do that. It would include a licensed Windows XP which will violate terms and agreement. I have updated the links for the drivers that you will need let me know if there is any dead links or If you have any questions.
Dont need one with a Serial already into it ,
i have my own legit copy but cant find the disk ,
can only find my upgrade xp disk at the moment ,
so i am not shure which verion that would be correct to use if i was to obtain a copy
for slipstreaming and also i am not too shure how to work nlite
The version that you should use should be Windows XP service pack2 or higher don't use the upgrade version either. There is a tutorial here for nlite that you can follow http://teamtutorials.com/windows-tutorials/how-to-make-a-custom-windows-install-w-nlite

A reply to My Chart.
The messege of "no hard disk" when you tried to install windows XP is the SATA hard drive.
Normally you need a floppy drive so that windows installer will be able to locate it, but floppy drive is obsolete.
OK here's how. First do this on another computer where you have a CD writer (not on your Sony laptop).
1. extract the SATA driver (INDOTH-12766700-xp.zip)to a folder
Extract the rest of the drivers for the Laptop like video, sound etc.
2. install nlite then ... when prompted ..Put your windows XP installer in the CDROM
3. locate the folder where your drivers are located including the SATA driver (most important).
4. Just follow the Prompt until nlite will create an iso file(image file) which you can burn into a blank CD (this will be the installer that you are going to use in your laptop...A windows XP installer integrated with all the drivers including the SATA driver)
**For a detailed How to of nlite go to this site http://teamtutorials.com/windows-tutorials/how-to-make-a-custom-windows-install-w-nlite
Let me know if you still have any trouble.
Charlie.
Thanks

what i do..
first i make one folder and copy all XP file in that folder
then i extract sata drive in another folder
open nLite given path of my xp folder then click on next..

after that next ..
add sata driver folder and select all
and next to create iso image ..
and finesh with burn new iso imeage..
m i right..
thanks to all
Yes absolutely correct. By the way XP drivers is already available for download in sony support site http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNNR120E&SelectOS=7
You can also Try another operating system way better than VISTA. It's called SABAYON LINUX. http://www.sabayonlinux.org/
This OS runs on the DVD. Just download the iso image file and burn it to a DVD.
Boot into the DVD and you will be able to use the OS with all free software.
Oh.. Thanks for this two site
