Using the Application Recovery CD(s)
The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and
device drivers if they become corrupted or are accidentally erased. Reinstalling
an individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are
experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire
contents of your hard drive.
You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD(s). The application
will not run from DOS. If you have any questions on using the Application
Recovery CD(s), contact Sony Customer Support.
To use the Application Recovery CD(s)
1 Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all
applications.
2 When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery
CD in the CD-RW drive. The Application Recovery utility loads
automatically.
3 When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the recovery process.
✍
Your system may include one or two System Recovery CDs. If you have two System
Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the System Recovery program. You are
prompted to insert the second CD once the information from the first CD has been
installed.
The recovery process takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
After recovering your system using the System Recovery CD(s), you may be prompted
to insert your Application Recovery CD(s) after restarting Windows. Insert the
Application Recovery CD(s) to complete full recovery of your system.
✍
If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your computer, use
the System Recovery CD(s).
