Database of recoveries available to download
The list on this page was replaced by our new database. Please access the website here.
Donating new recoveries
You can help us by dumping and uploading Recovery Media from any of the models in the Wanted List.
Useful information
To change language of XP discs, please use the SP3 swap method. On Vista and 7, you can use the tool Vistalizator.
On early XP and older discs, the last disc of the set will usually have drivers.
System Recovery is also known as Disc 1, and Application Recovery as Disc 2.
Model locks and compatibility
Most recovery discs only work on the model they were created with (model example: VPCZ11C7E), and not on the entire series (series example: VPCZ1). In some cases, they only work on the unit they were created with. Even though those discs would work perfectly on the machine you are trying to install them on, they are locked from installing.
Removing or Bypassing Model Locks
Sony VAIO Recovery Patcher (SVRP) is a utility designed to patch recovery discs to bypass model locks. For now, only Windows Vista, 7, and 8 recoveries are supported, but support for XP and below is coming soon.
Disclaimer
Some recovery discs are uploaded by us, some aren't, and so we offer no liability. Please see the Library's general disclaimer.
Recovery discs can have multiple names: Recovery Discs, Recovery Disks, Recovery Media, Recovery Media CD, Recovery DVD, Recovery CD.
