Replacing the original hard disk drive

system, or original software, using the preinstalled Hard Drive Recovery utility.

The Hard Drive Recovery utility is a quick and easy-to-use program that can restore your system if it becomes unstable or
stops working properly.

To enable you to recover your system with the VAIO Recovery utility, you can purchase a Partition Recovery CD Assembly
