Adds a recovery mechanism for users over and above any System Restore features - allowing users to revert a drive back to the state it was when bought form the factory by hitting F10. The user obviously loses any data stored if not backed-up elsewhere

VAIO PC's that have VAIO Recovery Wizard should have this file. This file is used to access the Recovery Tool on a hidden partition in the hard disk. You can find this file under startup items in System Configuration Utility. If partseal is unchecked you will not be able to run the Vaio Recovery Wizard

PartSeal is NOT necessary for WINDOWS. It is necessary if you wish to recover your original Sony software. It doesn't have to be running all the time, but if you have to use it, you're already in serious trouble and may not be able to choose to load it. I found a bunch of information at Sony's site, but it's all in popup windows that can't be linked to
