[. . . ] You may not need to reinstall the entire contents of your hard drive. If you experience a problem with your notebook, reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may correct the problem. Use the Application Recovery CD(s) to reinstall individual applications or use the Driver Recovery CD(s) to reinstall device drivers. See "To use the Application Recovery CD(s)" for more information. The System Recovery CD contains a backup copy of all the software originally installed on your hard disk drive. It can be used only to recover the hard disk of the notebook you purchased. The System Recovery utility will perform a Full Restore with Format. It formats the hard disk drive, then restores all the original software. Full Restore with Format removes all the information on the hard disk drive. You will lose any software you have installed and any other files you have created since you started to use your notebook. This means you will have to reinstall any applications that were not included with the notebook when you purchased it. If you have any questions on using the System Recovery CD, contact Sony Customer Support. 1 2 3 4 5 Insert the Sony System Recovery CD in the optical drive. Personal injury or equipment damage may result from failure to take these precautions. Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you install memory modules in your notebook. Mistakes made when installing or removing a memory module may cause a malfunction. Disconnect your system from its power source and from any telecommunications links, networks, or modems before you open the system or follow any of the procedures described below. Personal injury or equipment damage may result from failure to take these precautions. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage memory modules and other components. Perform the procedures described below only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area, and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground yourself by maintaining contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure. Do not open the memory module package until you are ready to install the module. The package protects the module from ESD. Use the special bag for preventing ESD or use aluminum foil when you store the memory module. 42 Typical expansion memory configuration Typical expansion memory configuration Models with 128 MB memory* Total System Memory (MB) 128 192 256 384 512 Slot 1 (MB) 128 128 128 128 256 Slot 2 (MB) 64 128 256 256 Models with 256 MB memory Total System Memory (MB) 256 384 512 Slot 1 (MB) 128 128 256 Slot 2 (MB) 128 256 256 * The 512 MB memory configuration may require the removal and replacement of original factory-installed memory modules.
