Making Recovery Disks

[Matt_Roche]

Hi could someone tell me how to make revovery disks?

I've gone to All Programs > Vaio Recovery Tool > Vaio Revovery Utility.....but it says the recovery partition has been deleted.

Hi Matt_Roche,

Have you formatted the hard drive?

To check whether the partition is still there, go to Control panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management.

In addition to your C and D partitions you should have a partition without a drive letter assigned.

Thanks for the reply. I followed what you said but I don't quite know what i'm looking for? It has in there:

Recovery Partition - Partition - Basic - NTFS - Healthy (Eisa Config') etc
Vaio - Partition - Basic - NTFS - Healthy (Active)
Vaio - Partition - Basic - NTFS - Healthy

Hi Matt

If you maximise the page that Rich directed you to, what capacity and free space is displayed for your Recovery Partition - Partition - Basic - NTFS - Healthy Eisa Config..?

Capacity 7.92GB, Free Space 1.73GB, 21% Free, Fault Tolerance - No, Overhead 0%


Does that help???

Hi Matt,

When did you purchase your Vaio..?

I think you need to open a case with Vaio-Link..

[Matt_Roche]

Yeh I have but they take ages to reply so I thought i'd take it up with you guys first. I bought it just under a month ago, it's not a big issue is it? If I ever should require those discs couldn't I just get them from sony?

Hi Matt,

Yes you can obtain a recovery disc set form Vaio-Link but at a cost of approx £65..
