Using the Driver Recovery CD(s)
The Driver Recovery CD utility allows you to reinstall individual drivers and
repair software applications if they become corrupted or are accidentally erased.
You can reinstall an individual driver to correct a problem that you are
experiencing with your computer, 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 computer. If your computer is already on, close all
applications.
2 When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Driver Recovery CD in the
optical drive. The Driver Recovery utility loads automatically.
3 When the Driver Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen instructions
to complete the recovery process.
Using the System Recovery CD(s)
You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they are
corrupted or erased. You may not need to recover the entire contents of your hard
drive. If you experience a problem with your computer, reinstalling an individual
device driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application
Recovery CD(s) to reinstall individual applications or device drivers. See “Using
the Application Recovery CD(s)” .
The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally
installed on your hard disk drive.
It can be used only to recover the hard disk
of the notebook you purchased.
The System Recovery utility gives you Full Restore with Format, that is it
formats the hard disk drive then restores all the original software.

You must be in Windows to run the Driver Recovery CD utility.
