Drive C Partition Recovery
Complete Hard Disk Drive Recovery
Restore only Drive C to the original,
factory-installed settings
This option may be a good choice when:
Your hard drive has two or more partitions and the problem resides in
a single partition (Drive C).
You want to restore Drive C back to its original, factory-installed settings.
You want to try a recovery option that will not take a long time to complete.
You do not have a VAIO® Recovery Media Kit.
Drive C partition recovery deletes all of your data, such as custom settings,
recent software installations or upgrades, passwords or other login
information, and e-mail. (Remember to back up data to external media
before performing this recovery option.)
Restore your entire hard disk drive to
the original, factory-installed settings.
This option may be a good choice when:
Your computer stops working and all other attempts to troubleshoot or repair
the problem do not work.
You want to eliminate a destructive virus or malicious code that has
corrupted your computer.
You want a reliable recovery method that completely restores your computer’s
operating system and preinstalled software programs to the original,
factory-installed settings.
A complete hard disk drive recovery requires a VAIO Recovery Media Kit and
can take one to two hours to complete. This option deletes all of your data,
such as custom settings, recent software installations or upgrades, passwords
or other login information, and e-mail. (Remember to back up data to
external media before performing this recovery option.)
