Using the Product Recovery CD-ROM
The following sections describe how to use the Recovery CD-ROM.
The Product Recovery CD-ROM allows you to perform:
❏ A full system recovery
❏ An application recovery
❏ A manual reinstallation of device drivers
You may need to recover the entire contents of your hard drive, in case of
a serious system crash. In this instance, perform a system recovery.
If you encounter a problem with your computer, probably caused by a
badly configured system, reinstalling an individual device driver may
solve the problem.
Another problem could be that a pre-installed application doesn't work
properly anymore. Reinstalling the appropriate application should fix the
problem. Consequently, you should perform an application recovery.
Performing a System Recovery.
Use this option only when your system is seriously damaged. For
example: Windows 98 does not work anymore, or your PC behaves
abnormally... The system recovery will completely reinstall the originally
configured system on your PC.
✍ You can only use this Recovery CD-ROM on the Sony notebook you purchased and not on
any other Sony PC or other manufacturer's PC!
! Applying a system recovery means that you will lose all your data stored on the
hard drive. Therefore, before applying a system recovery, save your data stored
on the hard disk to an external disk. If this is not possible under Windows 98,
try to save your data from the DOS-prompt to a floppy.
! CAUTION: ensure that your computer is connected to AC (not the batteries)
before you attempt a System Recovery.
! CAUTION: when the recovery is performed, you must remove the recovery CD-
ROM from the drive before restarting the computer. If the CD-ROM is still in the
drive, you will restart a recovery process.
