If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that shipped with your computer, 
use the System Recovery CD. See “Using the System and Application Recovery 
CDs” on page 97.

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

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

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

When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen 
instructions to complete the recovery process.

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. The basic version of Word 2000 is preloaded, you may 
load other Word options from the Word Application CD.

✍

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CDs. The application will not 

run from MS-DOS®.  If you have any questions on using the Application Recovery 

CDs, contact Sony Customer Support.
Some applications on the Application Recovery CDs must be decompressed before the 

installation process begins. Your screen does not change while the files are 

decompressed. The time to decompress an application varies and may be as long as 

30 minutes.

✍

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.
