About Recovery
Recovery is the process of restoring your VAIO computer back to its original factory
condition.
About the ASSIST Button
Press the ASSIST button to perform regular maintenance of your VAIO computer or to solve
problems you might encounter when using the computer.
Checking the Volume of the Recovery Area
Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for the system
recovery is stored.
Creating Recovery Media
Follow the instructions below to create Recovery Media.
Notes on Recovery
Read the following notes thoroughly before recovering your VAIO computer.
Recovering from Recovery Media
If the recovery area data has been corrupted or erased, you can use Recovery Media to
recover your VAIO computer. However, it takes longer time to recover using Recovery Media
than using the recovery area.
Recovering from the Recovery Area
Recovery from the recovery area on the built-in storage device is faster than recovery using
Recovery Media.
Removing Recovery Contents to Free up Disk Space
Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for system recovery
is stored. If your VAIO computer includes a solid state drive (SSD), you might want to
minimize the recovery area by removing such data.
