To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)

The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers if they become corrupted or are 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, an application repair utility, uses a vault feature on the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair software applications.

✍If you need to reinstall all of the software applications that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD.

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