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, recovering the computer using the Recovery Media will take longer than
using the recovery area.
If you use 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.
See

Connecting an External Drive

for more information on how to connect the

external optical disc drive.
If an AC adapter or a power cable is supplied, plug it into a power source.

1. Insert Recovery Media (optical discs) 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.

2. Turn off your VAIO computer.

3. Press the ASSIST button to display the VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) screen

and select Start from media (USB device/optical disc).
Follow the on-screen instructions until the Choose an option screen appears.

4. Select Troubleshoot and VAIO recovery solutions.

Follow the on-screen instructions until the VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO
recovery solutions
screen appears.

5. Select Start recovery wizard.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Hint

If the display language selection window appears, select your desired language, then
OK.
To perform custom recovery, select Tools and 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 then try recovering the computer
again.
