that's what I would do - Just format the drive and install a copy of whatever OS you want to run (Ubuntu, WindowsXP, Win7, etc). Then go onto the Sony website and download the drivers you need for whatever hardware you find out the computer has based on what you see in the device manager.
Then chances you'll get a recovery disk to match the computer's setup is slim anyways, and that's all a recovery disk does.
