To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)
The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers if they become corrupted or are erased. You can
reinstall an individual driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your notebook, hardware, or software
application. VAIO Support Agent, an application repair utility, uses a vault feature on the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair
software applications.
Note:
If you need to reinstall all of the software applications that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD.
You must be in Windows to run the Driver Recovery CD utility.
