Notes on Recovery
Read the following notes thoroughly before recovering your VAIO computer.
Important notes on recovery
Recovering your VAIO computer will delete all the data on the built-in storage
device and restore all the settings to the original factory settings. Make sure
you have a backup copy of your valuable data.
If you want to retain the main settings and personal data, refresh the computer.
See Refreshing Your VAIO Computer for more information.
Disconnect all peripherals from your VAIO computer except the power cord, the
AC adapter, or devices required for recovery before recovering the computer.
Keep the power cord or the AC adapter connected to your VAIO computer
during the recovery process.
Do not stop the recovery process until the process is complete.
If you have forgotten the password and cannot start the recovery process,
contact an authorized Sony service/support center to reset it. A reset fee will
be charged.
Notes on apps
Recovering your VAIO computer can restore only the preinstalled apps. The
app(s) that has been installed on your own or the data you have created since
purchase cannot be restored. In addition, you cannot restore only Windows.
Certain preinstalled apps include options that allow the apps to uninstall or
install themselves. However, the apps may not work properly on your VAIO
computer if such options are used.
Installing apps to modify partition sizes may disable recovery or Recovery
Media creation. To avoid this, create the Recovery Media immediately after your
VAIO computer is ready for use. See Creating Recovery Media for more
information.
