To create Recovery Media

Hint

You can use DVDs, Blu-ray Disc, or a USB flash drive as Recovery Media. However, it is

recommended that you use DVD-R media, because data can be accidently deleted from

a USB flash drive. You can also use BD-R/BD-R DL/DVD-R DL/DVD+R/DVD+R DL

media; however, the type of media your VAIO computer supports and the number of

discs you need vary depending on the model you purchased. You will be notified of such

information during the creation process.

1. Connect your VAIO computer to the Internet and download and install the latest

updates using VAIO Update.

2. On the model without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external optical disc drive

(not supplied) to your VAIO computer. [Details]

If an AC adapter or a power cable is supplied, plug it into a power source.

3. Press the ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is on to start VAIO Care.

If the User Account Control window appears, select Yes.

The VAIO Care window appears.

Hint

If you are signed in to your VAIO computer as a standard user, you may be

prompted to enter an administrator name and a password.

4. Select Advanced Tools, Restore and recovery, and Create Recovery

Media.

5. Read the on-screen instructions carefully, and then select Next.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note

It may take some time for the current status of the process to display.

Do not eject or disconnect the media while creating Recovery Media, as doing so may

result in a failure.

Keep Recovery Media in a secure place.

Notes on creating Recovery Media

Recovery Media is specific to your VAIO computer of which it was created.

You cannot refresh your VAIO computer using Recovery Media.

Create Recovery Media immediately after your VAIO computer is ready for use. In the

following cases, you may not be able to recover the computer from the recovery area

and Recovery Media will be necessary:

You have modified the recovery area with apps designed for data modification.

You have installed an operating system different from the preinstalled operating

system on the computer.

You have formatted your built-in storage device without using VAIO Care (Rescue

Mode) : Recover or maintain your system.
