Recovering from Recovery Media

If the recovery area data has been corrupted or erased, you can use Recovery Media to recover your VAIO computer.

However, recovering the computer using the Recovery Media will take longer than using the recovery area.

If you use Recovery Media (optical discs) on the model without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external optical

disc drive (not supplied) to the computer. See

for more information on how to connect the

external optical disc drive.

If an AC adapter or a power cable is supplied, plug it into a power source.

1. Insert Recovery Media (optical discs) into the optical disc drive or connect a USB flash drive to the USB port on

your VAIO computer while the computer is in Normal mode.

2. Turn off your VAIO computer.

3. Press the

ASSIST button to display the VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) screen and select Start from media

(USB device/optical disc).
Follow the on-screen instructions until the

VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions screen

appears.

4. Select

Start recovery wizard.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Hint

If the display language selection window appears, select your desired language, then

OK.

To perform custom recovery, select

Tools and Start advanced recovery wizard.

If you cannot recover your VAIO computer using the USB flash drive, connect the drive to another USB port on the

computer, and then try recovering the computer again.
