Resetting the default partition sizes

If you changed the partition sizes since you bought your Sony computer, choosing Factory Default Settings
Recovery allows you to reset the hard drive to its original size. Meanwhile, the current partitions are deleted, the
hard disk is reformatted, and all the original software is restored as with a standard system recovery. You will lose
all the data on your hard drive.
You should allow one hour for the recovery process.
To restore the default size of the hard drive, proceed as follows:
1 Select the button next to Factory Default Settings Recovery.
2 Click Next.
3 Read the summary of the recovery process about to be performed and click Next to start the process.
4 Click Yes to confirm.
5 Follow the instructions onscreen.
6 When the process is finished, click OK.
7 Click Next in the window that appears.
The system ejects the disc from the drive automatically.
8 Remove the disc, close the drive and click Finish.
Your system is restored to its initial settings and reboots automatically.
