© 2013 Sony Corporation Notes on creating Recovery Media Search Recovery Media is specific to your VAIO computer of which it was created. You cannot refresh your VAIO computer using Recovery Media. Create Recovery Media immediately after your VAIO computer is ready for use. In the following cases, you may not be able to recover the computer from the recovery area and Recovery Media will be necessary: You have modified the recovery area with apps designed for data modification. You have installed an operating system different from the preinstalled operating system on the computer. You have formatted your built-in storage device without using VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions. Do not touch or allow the surface of the discs to become dirty. Fingerprints or dust on the surface may cause read/write errors. To create Recovery Media, you may need to use the free space on your C: drive more than double capacity of media you use. Depending on your model, you cannot create Recovery Media even at the time of purchase due to the shortage of free space, regardless if the optical disc drive supports Blu-ray Disc or Double/Dual Layer DVD media. Refer to the help file included with VAIO Care before using a USB flash drive as Recovery Media.
