To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers if they
become corrupted or are accidentally erased. You can reinstall an individual
driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your notebook,
hardware, or software application. VAIO Support Agent uses a vault feature on
the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair software applications.
1Turn on your notebook. If your notebook is already on, close all
applications.

optical drive.
3Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to view the contents of the Driver
Recovery CD.

To repair software applications using VAIO Support Agent
The Driver Recovery CD utility has an information vault that contains the
original characteristics for the preinstalled software applications that are
protected by VAIO Support Agent.
To use the System Recovery CD(s)You can use the System Recovery CD(s) to reinstall the operating system and
software titles that shipped with your notebook if they become corrupted or
erased. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If
you experience a problem with your notebook, reinstalling an individual device
driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery
CD(s) to reinstall individual applications or use the Driver Recovery CD(s) to
reinstall device drivers. See “To use the Application Recovery CD(s)” for more
information.
This CD restores your notebook to its original sta te, therefore user data and
applications will be lost.
