Hi Zagan,
No the cd's are new , and the system is a Sony VAIO PCV RS 420, They came
out and replaced the motherboard on here. I have called sony several times on
this issue. THey replaced the power source, they replaced the floppy drive.
The dvd rw locks up the computer. No sounds it just locks up and freezes the
system. I had a time getting my printer cd to be accepted, it took turning
puter on and off 3 times then it took the cd.
