Recovering your VAIO system
An important part of using your computer is being able to perform a recovery
of the system and applications. This section explains everything you need to
know about recovering your system. It is very important that you read this
section before using your computer, and always before attempting to make
a recovery of any kind. See "Before using your computer" on page 12.
