The Driver Recovery CD utility enables you to reinstall individual drivers if they 
become corrupted or are accidentally erased. You can reinstall an individual 
driver to correct a problem that you are experiencing with your computer, 
hardware, or software application. VAIO Support Agent uses a vault feature on 
the Driver Recovery CD(s) to repair software applications.

Turn on your notebook. If your notebook is already on, close all 
applications.

When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Driver Recovery CD in the 
optical disc drive. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to view the 
contents of the Driver Recovery CD. Select the appropriate driver.

The Driver Recovery CD utility has an information vault that contains the 
original characteristics for the preinstalled software applications that are 
protected by VAIO Support Agent. See “VAIO Support Agent” on page 59 for 
instructions on how to fix your software problems.

You can use the System Recovery CD(s) to format the C:\ partition of the hard 
disk drive, then reinstall the operating system and software titles that shipped 
with your notebook, if they become corrupted or erased. You may not need to 
reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with 
your notebook, reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may 
correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery CD(s) to reinstall individual 
applications or use the Driver Recovery CD(s) to reinstall device drivers. See 
“Using the Application Recovery CD(s)” on page 39 to reinstall individual 
applications or see “Using the Driver Recovery CD” on page 40 for more 
information.
