For those who might've seen my post a few days ago, I was convinced that since I didn't have recovery discs and the original HDD had Linux installed, there was no hope for a proper factory reset.

However, using Ventoy I was able to force the Recovery partition to boot, thus triggering the recovery process. I am now in the process of producing recovery discs that I will upload to the Archive. Feels good to contribute, however small my contribution might be.

Hey folks! Managed to snag a beautiful Vaio L that unfortunately didn't come with its recovery discs (Previous owner installed Linux; the oem recovery partition is still there but unaccessible without the actual factory OS installed) and would love to set it up with its factory settings. However I couldn't find recovery discs for this specific model online and my attempts with the closest one I could find (VPC-L116FX) using the recovery patcher ended up throwing me errors. If anyone has those discs laying around or have an idea what I might be doing wrong, I appreciate all the help.

Will try to upload my error messages later.

My SS1 just arrived today, but I was already holding on a Founders Edition I bought off marketplace for my brother. Was surprised to see there was a difference between the boxes besides the Founder Edition text / SuperDock Inside sticker.

Analogue's products and now RetroRemake's products are the only products I've ever had to pay such steep duties on. Did you guys get fees too? Especially interested to know for others in Canada

I can't find clear documentation about how to set up the wlan on the SuperStationOne. I flashed the latest firmware, ran update all script through a wired connection and still get this error when trying to set up Wi-Fi.

Update: Solved it by reflashing the entire SD card. Not sure what went wrong with my previous flashing (I even re-used the same image to reflash!) but sure enough WiFi works just fine now.
