Using Your Recovery CDs
Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual applications if they become corrupted or are accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual software title may correct a problem you are experiencing with your notebook or software application; you may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If you need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your notebook, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the System Recovery CD(s)” for more information.
You can also use the Application Recovery CD to install Windows 2000 drivers on your notebook.
✍You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD. If you have any questions on using the Application Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer Support.
