Before Creating a VAIO Recovery Media Kit
Make a backup of your computer’s data. Recovering
your hard disk drive can eliminate all existing files.
Purchase the recordable CDs or DVDs required to
create the recovery media kit.
Read all instructions and allow plenty of time to perform
the desired recovery option. A complete hard disk
recovery can take one to two hours.
NOTE: Create the recovery media kit before resizing or
creating partitions on your hard disk drive with your
own software program.
