| '''Below is a list of all the Sony VAIO recovery discs that can be found on the internet.'''
| | == Recovery Media == |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | === Database of recoveries available to download === |
|
| |
|
| Recovery discs have multiple names: Recovery Discs, Recovery Disks, Recovery Media, Recovery Media CD, Recovery DVD, Recovery CD.
| | <big>The list on this page was replaced by our new database. Please access the website [https://archive.vaiolibrary.com/ here].</big> |
|
| |
|
| '''<big>''Last list update: 31/07/2022''</big>'''
| | === Donating new recoveries === |
|
| |
|
| ==Compatibility Problems==
| | You can help us by dumping and uploading Recovery Media from any of the models in the [[Wanted Recovery Media|Wanted List]]. |
| 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. '''The VAIO Libary is currently working on a fix for this problem, make recovery discs work on the entire series they are intended for.'''
| | === Useful information === |
| | On early XP and older discs, the last disc of the set will usually have drivers. |
|
| |
|
| == How to use this list + additional informations ==
| | System Recovery is also known as Disc 1, and Application Recovery as Disc 2. |
| To use this list, you can use the search function of your browser (CTRL+F), '''imput the series name''' (example PCG-C1), '''not the exact model number !'''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''We do not make a difference between languages''', you can sometimes change the language after the install.
| | == Problems == |
|
| |
|
| 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)).
| | === 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''System Recovery is also called Disc 1, and Application Recovery is Disc 2.''' | | ===== 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. |
|
| |
|
| ==List of Available Series== | | === Language === |
| '''<big>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.</big>'''
| |
|
| |
|
| These downloads are all on the '''Internet Archive'''.
| | With some models lacking a big selection of archived recovery media, you may be forced to use discs in a language you do not understand. |
|
| |
|
| ===PCG===
| | '''To change language''' of XP discs, please use the [https://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Language-of-Your-Computer-(Windows-XP) SP3 swap method]. This method will change most of the XP installation to your desired language, but some system apps and most importantly preinstalled VAIO apps will remain in the original language. |
