Using the Driver Recovery CD(s)
The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers if they
become corrupted or are accidentally erased. You can reinstall an individual
driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your notebook,
hardware, or software application. VAIO Support Agent uses a vault feature on
the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair software applications.
To use the Driver Recovery CD(s)
1 Turn on your notebook. If your notebook is already on, close all
applications.
2 When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Driver Recovery CD in the
optical drive. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to view the contents
of the Driver Recovery CD. Select the appropriate driver.
To repair software applications using VAIO Support Agent
The Driver Recovery CD utility has an information vault that contains the
original characteristics for the preinstalled software applications that are
protected by VAIO Support Agent.
Using the System Recovery CD(s)
You can use the System Recovery CD(s) to reinstall the operating system and
software titles that shipped with your notebook if they become corrupted or
erased. You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If you
experience a problem with your notebook, reinstalling an individual device driver
or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery CD(s) to
reinstall individual applications or use the Driver Recovery CD(s) to reinstall
device drivers. See “Using the Application Recovery CD(s)” for more
information.
