Sony U71P
Creating a Japanese Windows XP Pro
DVD-R Recovery Disk

[You may need to set your browser to display Japanese to see the Japanese language text below.]

This is for people with the original Japanese Windows XP Pro installation that comes with the Sony VGN-U71P.

No recovery disks are provided. You have to create your own. The instructions (in Japanese) are provided on pages 195-199 of the supplied manual.

This webpage is for non-Japanese speakers (like myself) who want to create recovery disks just in case they want to restore the original configuration some day.

Here, I will be using the portable Sony DVD±RW drive (PCGA-DDRW3) plugged in via the docking station.

Instructions:

You're done!
