4/30/10- Post updated. Read the last paragraph before venturing in.

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 through my school’s MSDNAA program. For all my drivers, I used Windows Update and everything pretty much worked out of the box. However, recently, my friend bought a 50” HDTV and we wanted to test it out by using my laptop’s (VGN-FW270J) Bluray drive. I looked all over in Sony’s Drivers & Downloads site but All I could find was updates  and not the installer.  I called Sony and they straight up told me that they didn’t support Win7 until Oct 22nd and that if I wanted to play Bluray without spitting out some cash, that I had to reformat using my recovery partition(which I luckily didn’t format while installing Win7). I looked all over the web for a solution and I couldn’t find any  so I took matters into my own hands. I booted up Linux and crawled through the recovery partition and bumped across some files that looked like installation files that were compressed in some way (.MOD). I  did some looking around and it turns out that there is a program called Mod2WIM, which temporarily displays your hidden recovery partition and copies over all the installer files (mod & sny) and then converts(unlocks) them to be WIM, a format that is used by Windows to pack / mount installers.  After mounting a couple (using gimagex – a graphical inteface to the imagex program that is included in the mod2wim download) , I found WinDVD BD, which was file “MODJ-128993.wim”.  After mounting, I just opened the setup.exe file and voilà! The installer popped up.

So If you have a Sony VAIO Notebook computer which comes with WinDVD BD preinstalled and wishes to play Bluray without reformatting or anything crazy like that, go ahead and download it here.

*Update* 4/30/10 – Sony eSupport site finally caught up to Windows 7. As of January of 2010, they have put up the installer for (at least) my model. You can grab the installer from their site:http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNFW270J&SelectOS=45#div_pos_113  and expanding the ‘WinDVD sofware’ dropdown. My model is in there, you can change it to see if you can find yours.

I hope this helps out somebody out there.. and if you find it useful; don’t forget to thank in the comments section.

First to go to server admin and select DNS.

Server admin - DNS

Then Set Up DNS so that they look like this screenshot. (The ones that are not selected are optional)

What you're doing is setting up your own DNS servers so that your domain can look up them and resolve them to your IP. And the mail one is just in case if you're setting up a mail server too. In this screenshot 24.248.215.147 is the public (disable your firewall , or open port 53) internet address and 192.168.77.7 is the local network address, jasonstrack.net is your domain. the jasonstrack.net.jasonstrack.net is so that you can access http://jasonstrack.net and you can later on add a cname record for the www.Now that you have your DNS name server ns1 and ns2.yourdomain.com you have to add those nameservers as hosts in your godaddy account.

Set up NS1 and NS2 to your ip.

Host Settings GoDaddy

And after you save your settings set your Nameservers for your domain to

And after, wait a couple of hours (or minutes) and then your domain.com should point to your mac osx server!

Mac OSX Server

It worked for me.

And if your domain doesn't resolve try searching google for nslookup and dns lookup and check if you have missed something in your dns settings.
