Sony PCG-R505JSP Manual

The following sections describe how to use the Application Recovery, Driver 
Recovery, and System Recovery utilities. 

The Application Recovery CD(s) allows you to reinstall individual applications if 
they become corrupted or are accidentally erased. Reinstalling an individual 
software title may correct a problem you are experiencing with your notebook or 
software application; you may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your 
hard drive. If you need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your 
notebook, use the System Recovery CD(s). See “To use the System Recovery 
CD(s)” on page 58 for more information.

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

When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery 
CD in the optical drive. The Application Recovery utility loads 
automatically.

When the Application Recovery menu appears, select the icon for the 
application you want to restore and then follow the on-screen instructions to 
complete the recovery process.

✍

You must be in Windows® to run the Application Recovery CD. If you have any 
questions on using the Application Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer Support.

✍

Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two 
Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery 
program. You may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application 
you wish to restore.
