Using the Driver Recovery CD(s)
The Driver Recovery CD utility allows you to reinstall individual drivers and
repair software applications if they become corrupted or are accidentally erased.
You can reinstall an individual driver to correct a problem that you are
experiencing with your computer, hardware, or software application. VAIO
Support Agent uses a vault feature on the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair
software applications.
To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)
1 Turn on your notebook. If your notebook is already on, close all
applications.
2 When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Driver Recovery CD in the
optical drive. The Driver Recovery utility loads automatically.
3 When the Driver Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen instructions
to complete the recovery process.
To repair software applications using VAIO Support Agent
The Driver Recovery CD utility has an information vault that contains the
original characteristics for the preinstalled software applications that are
protected by VAIO Support Agent.
Using the System Recovery CD(s)
You can use the System Recovery CD(s) to reinstall the operating system and
software titles that shipped with your notebook if they become corrupted or are
erased. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If
you experience a problem with your notebook, reinstalling an individual device
driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery
CD(s) to reinstall individual applications. See “Using the Application Recovery
CD(s)” for more information.
✍ You must be in Windows to run the Driver Recovery CD utility.
This CD restores your notebook to its original state, so user data and
applications will be lost.
