About the VAIO Recovery Media Kit
The VAIO Recovery Media Kit can be used to start the VAIO Recovery Wizard if your computer is unable to start normally
from the system software on your hard disk drive. You can also use the VAIO Recovery Media Kit to reclaim the portion of
your hard drive that is reserved for system recovery.
You can create your own VAIO Recovery Media Kit or purchase a kit from Sony.
You can create a kit using a single type of media or by combining media types as follows:
 One CD-R media and one or two DVD-R or DVD+R media
(Your VAIO ® computer must be equipped with a DVD-RW or DVD±RW drive. CD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, 1X and 2X
speed DVD-R, and double layer DVD+R and DVD-R media are not supported.)
 Between 10 and 12 CD-R media, depending on the computer model you purchased.
(Your VAIO computer must be equipped with a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW drive. CD-RW media is not supported)
