Creating Recovery Media
Follow the instructions below to create Recovery Media.
You can use DVDs, Blu-ray Disc, or a USB flash drive as Recovery Media.
On the model without a built-in optical disc drive:
Use a USB flash drive.
On the model with a built-in optical disc drive:
It is recommended that you use DVD-R media, because data can be accidently deleted from a USB flash drive. You
can also use BD-R/BD-R DL/DVD-R DL/DVD+R/DVD+R DL media; however, the type of media your VAIO computer
supports and the number of discs you need vary depending on the model you purchased. You will be notified of such
information during the creation process.
Note
USB ports that are compliant with the USB 3.0 standard do not support recovery with a USB flash drive that is
compliant with the USB 3.0 standard. On models without the USB ports that are compliant with only the USB 2.0
standard, be sure to create Recovery Media using the USB flash drive that is not compliant with the USB 3.0
standard.
