No

this is illegal.

You must purchase Windows disc (or recovery disc), to use Windows

I'm not sure if illegal is word. Some actual legal advise may be handy here, but as far as I understand the original copy/license of Windows that you get when you buy a new PC doesn't "expire" when you format your hard drive.

Usually you are provided a reinstall CD or in some other cases there's a hidden partition in the HDD that can be used for such purposes.

Given your situation and Sony's lack of commitment to support their customers, I see no objection in borrowing a friend's installer CD or something of that sort, then use your license CD-key to activate the software.

Legal gray area or completely admissible, I'm not sure, but buying a new copy of Windows just because of a reformat sounds like a bad deal to me.

BTW, finding someone that has the Sony CDs for your specific model may prove much harder than using a standard Windows CD and then download all needed Sony utilities from their site.
