How do I reduce the volume of the recovery partition?

Your built-in storage device* contains the recovery partition where data for the system recovery is stored. If your computer includes a built-in flash memory storage drive, you might want to reduce the volume of the recovery partition by following these steps:

*See the online specifications to find out about your storage device configuration.

1Insert the recovery disc into the optical disc drive while your computer is on, turn off the computer, and then turn it on once again.

!

Use the recovery disc you created upon delivery of your computer.

2Select your keyboard layout from the drop-down list and click Next.

3Select your operating system and click Next.

4Click VAIO Recovery Center.

5Click Restore Complete System and Start.

6Select Skip and click Next.

You will be prompted to select whether or not to keep the VAIO Value-added contents.

7Select No and click Next.

8Follow the on-screen instructions.

The above procedure involves system recovery. Note that the applications and data you added on the storage drive before reducing the volume of the recovery partition will all be lost.

Once you have reduced the volume of the recovery partition, you need the recovery disc for later system recovery.
