Using the System Recovery CD(s)
You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are
corrupted or accidentally erased. You may not need to recover the entire contents
of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling
an individual device driver or software title may correct the problem.
The System Recovery utility provides three options:

Full Restore without Format — restores all the software titles that
originally came with your computer without formatting the hard disk.

Full Restore with Format — formats the hard disk drive and then restores
all the original software. If your hard drive is partitioned into C and D drives,
the computer will offer you the option to reformat the drive into a single
partition.


Use the Application Recovery CD program to reinstall individual applications or
device drivers.
! If you choose the Full Restore without Format option, you may need to
reinstall applications that were not included with the computer when you
purchased it. If you have any questions on using the System Recovery CD(s),
contact Sony Customer Support.
