Using Your Recovery CDs

The following sections describe how to use the Application Recovery, Driver Recovery, and System Recovery utilities.

Using the Application Recovery CD(s)

The Application Recovery CD utility enables 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.

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

1Turn on your notebook. If your notebook is already on, close all applications.

2When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery CD in the optical drive. The Application Recovery utility loads automatically.

3When the Application Recovery menu appears, select the icon for the application you want to restore and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.

✍Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application you wish to restore.
