format is another word for delete or erase.if you format you will loose everything, if you use the restore disk the disk will erase all partitation on the computer and rebuilt everything from scratch, when its finish you will get the computer as you did the first day you bought it. if you have to reformat then backup all your data that you want to fave and then reformat

Viao have a partition which houses the recovery (installation of Operating System (OS) + all the drivers and softwares that came with it). The recovery have 3 options, just be sure to back up all your files and select which one you prefer. After the recovery, depending on the option that you select, your computer (actually, your OS) will be good as newAt bootup, just right after the VAIO splash screen, press F10 and follow the wizard. Note: Do not (or do not let someone) remove that partition. The Operating System that you have there is a licensed one.
