Sony pcv-rz104 Software Guide

The final CD in the set of product recovery CD-ROMs contains most of the applications that were preinstalled 
on your computer. Reinstalling a program from this application CD can fix the problems encountered if it 
does not run correctly anymore, or if Windows

®

 is having a problem running a device.

Please read your printed Application CD Guide for details on (re)installing bundled applications.

The system recovery process allows you to:

Reinstall an image of the hard disk as it was before you started using your computer.
In the event that your system is seriously damaged, for example, if Windows

®

 does not work as it should, 

or your PC behaves abnormally, the system recovery will completely reinstall the originally configured 
system on your C: drive.

Change the sizes of the two available hard drive partitions, or delete the partitions altogether.
If you decide to modify the size of your partitions, the existing data on both C: drive and D: drive will be 
deleted (see Using partitioned drives 

).

❑

The recovery process can last up to sixty minutes, and in this time you will be prompted to change CDs.

❑

You can recover only the software bundled to your computer. It does not work for the software you have 
installed subsequently or the data you have created. 

❑

This procedure recovers the entire system, which means you cannot choose to only recover Windows

®

.

❑

Make sure that your computer is connected to the AC power supply (not to the battery) before you 
attempt a system recovery.

❑

When the recovery is performed, you are recommended to remove the recovery CD-ROM from the drive 
before restarting the computer.
