Now the question is: do the recovey diskettes are really shareware free? Or since they are created from a restoring partition of hard disk, they still keep mantaining the originally installed software? If the second is the good one, I ask you all, if does exist a method to create a really purified recovery disk.<BR />Thanks to everybody <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <SPAN style="color: red">purified recovey diskettes</SPAN> <BR />Marco<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 07:22:10 GMT drscatiggio 2008-04-19T07:22:10Z Purified recovery disk https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/purified-recovery-disk/m-p/132026#M62119 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Just after I've purchased my Vaio, I sudden clean all the junk-bundle pre-installed software out, and step 2, I've created the recovery set disk.

You cannot change this partition and it will always recover the Vaio to factory settings - with ALL the original software.<BR /><BR />If you want to back up your Programs/Settings/Data as they are now you have uninstalled the ones you don't want, you will need to make an Image of your C:\ Drive with something like <BR /><A href="http://eu.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/" target="_blank">Acronis True Image 11</A> <BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:15:36 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/purified-recovery-disk/m-p/132027#M62120 Blencogo 2008-04-19T09:15:36Z
