The Restore Complete System main screen contains the following three links
if you start your computer from Windows:
Go to Restore C: Drive - Restores only the C: drive to its original factory
configuration. This provides you with a less invasive option than restoring
your complete system.
Restart from disc - Starts the Restore Complete System process using the
recovery discs.
Go to Create recovery discs - Allows you to create recovery discs if you
have not done so previously, or have not purchased a set of recovery discs.
Before performing any restore or recovery options, go to the Sony online
support Web site at
www.esupport.sony.com and review your model-
specific support page.
