I don't think you can and you will have to set up the network again if you reinstall the operating system.

Why do you want to recover the the laptop?  You will have to download hundreds of Microsoft and Vaio Updates and install them and set up everything from scratch again.  You will have to reinstall all your programs again and then reload all your data.

Unless you have some compulsory reason to carry out a recovery, I would use a good registry cleaner and maintenance program like System Mechanic 10 to remove system debris built up over time.

A recovery is for massochists only!!
