Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual applications
and device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an
individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are
experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire
contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that
shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “Using the
System Recovery CD(s)” on page 95.
You can also use the Application Recovery CD to install Windows 2000 drivers
on your computer.
To use the Application Recovery CD(s)
1
Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all
applications.
2
When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery
CD in the DVD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery utility loads
automatically.
3
When the Application Recovery menu appears, select the icon for the
application you want to restore and then follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the recovery process.
You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD. If you have any
questions on using the Application Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer Support.
Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two
Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery
program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application
you wish to restore.
