What is recovery partition?
Recovery partition means the recovery of data from a formatted drive. You might need to format your Sony VAIO® W Series laptop when you cannot remove malware from your laptop through scanning or when you might wish to have some free space in your memory by removing unnecessary files. You can recover the data by reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the OS which is time-consuming. You can recover the data with recovery partition in a short time. All you have to do is, re-install Windows® and reload all your applications and drivers. Fire up Partition Magic and create a partition to hold your all applications and Windows®. Run a utility like Ghost to create a backup. Copy the backup to a CD or to some removable media, and then boot your PC with the CD. Thus you can recover all your important data without any infection. The Sony VAIO® W Series has some benefits with this recovery partition.
