The System Recovery utility gives you two options:
❑ Full Restore without Format — Restores all the software titles that
originally came with your computer without formatting the hard disk.
❑ Full Restore with Format — Formats the hard disk drive and then restores
all the original software.
To use the System Recovery CD(s)

on page 32.
3 Wait four seconds and then turn on your computer.
✍
If you recover your operating system using the System Recovery CD, Microsoft
Word 2000 will not be recovered. Use the supplied Word 2000 CD-ROM to
recover this application.
! If you choose the Full Restore with Format option, your hard disk will be
formatted, which removes all the information on the hard disk drive. You will lose
any software you have installed and any other files you have created since you
started to use your computer. This means you will have to reinstall any
applications that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.
If you choose the Full Restore without Format option, you may need to reinstall
applications that were not included with the computer when you purchased it.
If you have any questions on using the System Recovery CD, contact Sony
Customer Support.
✍
The optional CD-ROM drive (PCGA-CD51/A) or the DVD drive (PCGA-DVD51/A) must

If you use the PCGA-CD51/A, connect the AC adapter supplied with the drive and
power it on.
If you use the PCGA-DVD51/A, do not connect the AC adapter supplied with the drive.
You need to complete the Windows registration process when you use the System
Recovery CD. Make sure you have the product ID number located on the cover of your
Microsoft® Windows® Millenium Edition Getting Started manual. You will need this
number to complete the recovery process.
