modify or delete data in this area, however, there are commercially available apps designed for this purpose.
Why do I have to create Recovery Media?
Recovery Media are used to restore your VAIO computer back to its original factory condition. If Windows does not start
and you have deleted the recovery area, you will need the Recovery Media to perform recovery.
Create the Recovery Media immediately after the computer is ready for use.
