System Recovery CD(s)

Sony Electronics

The System Recovery CD program allows you to restore the software titles that shipped with your computer if they become corrupted or are erased accidentally. It can be used only to restore the hard disk of the Sony computer you purchased.

Application Recovery CD(s)

Sony Electronics

The Application Recovery CD program allows you to reinstall individual applications and device drivers. Use it to restore corrupted or accidentally erased files.

Using the System Recovery CD(s)

You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. You may not need to recover the entire contents of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may correct the problem.

Use the Application Recovery CD program to reinstall individual applications or device drivers.

The System Recovery utility provides three options:

	Full Restore without Format — restores all the software titles that
	originally came with your computer without formatting the hard disk.

!	If you choose the Full Restore without Format option, you may need to
	reinstall applications that were not included with the computer when you
	purchased it. If you have any questions on using the System Recovery CD(s),
	contact Sony Customer Support.

	Full Restore with Format — formats the hard disk drive and then restores
	all the original software. If your hard drive is partitioned into C and D drives,
	the computer will offer you the option to reformat the drive into a single

partition.
