Using the product recovery CD-ROMs
✍
You can only use these product recovery CD-ROMs on the Sony notebook you purchased and not on any other Sony PC or other manufacturer's PC!
To perform a system recovery, your port replicator should be disconnected.
The recovery process can last up to sixty minutes.
!
Applying a system recovery means that you will lose all your data stored on your C: drive (and your D: drive if you modify partition settings).
!
Make sure that your computer is connected to AC (not to batteries) before you attempt a system recovery.

When the recovery is performed, you must remove the recovery CD-ROM from the drive before restarting the computer. If the CD-ROM is still in the
drive, you will restart a recovery process.
