Recovering your Software

Creating a Recovery Startup CD

CD when you begin using your machine.

Double click , located in the Windows® Taskbar Notification area. The
VAIO Recovery Startup CD Wizard appears.

✍

If you have previously created a recovery startup CD, the VAIO Recovery Startup CD
Wizard icon is not visible in the Windows® Taskbar Notification area. Go to “Using the
VAIO Recovery Wizard” on page 29, for information on accessing the VAIO Recovery
Startup CD Wizard.
