Using the Driver Recovery CD(s)

The Driver Recovery CD utility allows you to reinstall individual drivers and repair software applications if they become corrupted or are accidentally erased. You can reinstall an individual driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your computer, hardware, or software application. VAIO Support Agent uses a vault feature on the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair software applications.

You must be in Windows to run the Driver Recovery CD utility.

To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)

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

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

3When the Driver Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.

Using the System Recovery CD(s)

You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are corrupted or 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(s) to reinstall individual applications or device drivers. See “Using the Application Recovery CD(s)” .

The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally installed on your hard disk drive. It can be used only to recover the hard disk

of the notebook you purchased.

The System Recovery utility gives you Full Restore with Format, that is it formats the hard disk drive then restores all the original software.
