using your notebook.

In the event of a serious system crash.

Reinstall an individual driver if a device is not functioning properly.

station) to perform a recovery.

You can also connect the optional PCGA-CD51/A CD-ROM drive or the optional PCGA-CDRW52 CD-RW drive to the PC Card slot on your notebook. 
However, the PCGA-CDRW52 CD-RW drive will not work if the main unit is docked.
