❑ Recovering your computer system will delete all the data on the hard 

disk. Make sure you have the backup copy of your valuable data. 

❑ On models with a fingerprint sensor, recovering your computer system 

will delete all the fingerprint templates on the hard disk. See the online 
Specifications to see whether your model is equipped with a fingerprint 
sensor.

❑ Disconnect all peripherals from your computer and connect the AC 

adapter only to the computer before recovering the computer system.

❑ Recovering your computer system restores all the settings to the factory 

default settings.

❑ Make sure that you perform both a system recovery and an application 

recovery. Your computer may become unstable without performing the 
application recovery.

❑ If you have set the password to protect your data, you cannot start the 

recovery process without entering the password. Be sure to write down 
the password not to forget the password.

 

If you have forgotten the password, contact VAIO-Link to reset it. A reset 
fee will be charged.

Before the actual recovery process starts, VAIO Recovery Center makes it 
easy to cancel any settings you may have made. Most screens remind you 
about the loss of data that will occur and you can either go back to the 
previous screen (click Back), or abort the recovery setup altogether. To 
abort, remove the recovery disc (if applicable), press Cancel, and click Yes 
to confirm. The system reboots automatically.

However, once the recovery process has started, canceling the job will delete 
all the current data on your drive.

When using recovery discs: if you do not remove the disc before rebooting, the system 
recovery will start again.

There are two options to recover your computer system:

❑ Recover your computer system from Windows (see page 35).
❑ Recover your computer system without starting Windows (see page 37).
