Using the System and Application Recovery CDs

The following sections describe how to use the System Recovery and

Application Recovery utilities. You need to connect the optional

PCGA-CD51 CD-ROM drive, the PCGA-CDRW51, or the PCGA-DVD51

drive to use the System and Application Recovery CDs.

Using the System Recovery CD(s)

You can reinstall software titles that shipped with your computer if they

are corrupted or accidentally 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 CDs to reinstall

individual applications or device drivers. See “Using the Application

Recovery CD(s)” on page 90.

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 computer you purchased.

The System Recovery utility gives you three 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.

❑

Operating System Only restores the Windows® operating system,

the notebook computer utility programs, and the device drivers that

shipped with 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 or Operating System Only 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.
