Revision as of 18:07, 12 September 2023

Below is a list of all the Sony VAIO recovery discs that can be found on the internet.

Some are uploaded by us, some aren't, and so we offer no liability, please use at your own risk, not that there is one anyway.

Recovery discs have multiple names: Recovery Discs, Recovery Disks, Recovery Media, Recovery Media CD, Recovery DVD, Recovery CD.

Last list update: 21.04.2023

Compatibility Problems

A method that bypasses model checks has been found! Sony VAIO Recovery Patcher (SVRP), a program capable of patching certain discs, has been developed and is now available to download! See here.

Some of these recovery discs only work on the model they are intended for (model example: VPCZ11C7E), and not on the entire series (series example: VPCZ1). In some cases it's even worse, they only work on the unit they were created with.

This creates a problem. Even though those discs would perfectly work on the machine you are trying to install them on, they are locked from installing. Please use SVRP to patch these discs (if possible).

How to use this list + additional information

To use this list, you can use the search function of your browser (CTRL+F), input the series name (example PCG-C1), not the exact model number! You can also visit the page of whatever series/model you are searching for, and if recovery discs are available, they will be listed in the downloads section.

We do not make a difference between languages, you can sometimes change the language after the install.

When multiple recovery discs are available for one series, we list all of them, and instead of just listing the name of the series (example PCG-C1), we list the series + exact model name (example PCG-C1 (PCG-C1XD)).

System Recovery is also called Disc 1, and Application Recovery is Disc 2.

List of Available Series

We also have a list of recovery discs uploaded on our servers for faster downloads! Please see "List of Available Series - VAIO Library Servers" section below.
