What should I do if I cannot complete the recovery process?

• Disconnect all unnecessary external devices from your VAIO computer.

• Try the suggestions below:

• Check the condition of Recovery Media. If you are using optical discs, check the discs for dirt or damage. If the discs are not clean, clean them and try recovering your VAIO computer again.

• If you cannot recover your VAIO computer from the recovery area, restart the computer and recover the computer from the recovery area again, or use Recovery Media.

• If you cannot recover your VAIO computer using a USB optical drive or USB flash drive, connect the drive to another USB port on the computer, then turn off the computer and try recovering it again.

• Press the ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is off, click Start BIOS setup in the VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) screen, and make sure Boot Mode is set to Legacy.

• If the problem persists, visit the VAIO online support website for further assistance.
