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
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
VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions screen
appears.
4. Select
Start recovery wizard.
5. 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.
