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.
1. If you recover your VAIO computer from Recovery Media (optical discs) on the model
without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external optical disc drive (not supplied)
to the computer. [Details]
If an AC adapter is supplied with the external optical disc drive, plug the AC adapter
into a power source.
Note
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the USB port that is compliant with the USB
2.0 standard, connect a USB device to the port.
2. Insert the disc into the optical disc drive or connect a USB flash drive to the USB port
on your VAIO computer while the computer is in Normal mode.
Note
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the USB port that is compliant with the USB
2.0 standard, connect a USB device to the port.
3. Turn off your VAIO computer and turn it on once again.
If you are using the external optical disc drive or the USB flash drive, press the F11
key repeatedly until the VAIO logo screen disappears.
The Windows Boot Manager screen is displayed.
If the screen does not appear, restart the computer and try again.
4. Press the
or key to select Start VAIO Care Rescue and press the Enter key.
Hint
If the display language selection window appears, select your desired language
and click OK.
5. Select Start recovery wizard.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Hint
To perform the custom recovery, select Tools and click Start advanced recovery
wizard.
If you cannot recover your VAIO computer using the USB flash drive, connect the drive
to another USB port on the computer and try recovering the computer again.
