Creating Recovery Media
Follow the instructions below to create Recovery Media.
You can use DVDs, Blu-ray Disc, or a USB flash drive as Recovery Media.
On the model without a built-in optical disc drive:
Use a USB flash drive.
On the model with a built-in optical disc drive:
It is recommended that you use DVD-R media, because data can be accidently deleted from a USB flash drive. You
can also use BD-R/BD-R DL/DVD-R DL/DVD+R/DVD+R DL media; however, the type of media your VAIO computer
supports and the number of discs you need vary depending on the model you purchased. You will be notified of such
information during the creation process.
Note
USB ports that are compliant with the USB 3.0 standard do not support recovery with a USB flash drive that is
compliant with the USB 3.0 standard. On models without the USB ports that are compliant with only the USB 2.0
standard, be sure to create Recovery Media using the USB flash drive that is not compliant with the USB 3.0
standard.
1. Connect your VAIO computer to the Internet and download and install the latest updates using VAIO Update.
2. If you create Recovery Media (optical discs) on the model without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external
optical disc drive (not supplied) to your VAIO computer. (See
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.
3. Press the
ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is on to start VAIO Care.
If the
User Account Control window appears, select Yes.
The
VAIO Care window appears.
4. Select
Advanced Tools, Restore and recovery, and Create Recovery Media.
5. Read the on-screen instructions carefully, and then select
Next.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note
It may take some time for the current status of the process to display.
Do not eject or disconnect the media while creating Recovery Media, as doing so may result in a failure.
