Using Your Recovery CDs

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