Sony PCG-Z505LE User Guide

VAIO® Z505 SuperSlim Pro™ Notebook User Guide

The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications and 
device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an 
individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are 
experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire 
contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that 
shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD. See “Using the 
System Recovery CD(s)” on page 91.

.

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.

✍

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CDs.
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.
