For that enter the BIOS setup using F2 or Del or Assist key in Vaio laptops. After that go to the "Boot" tab or search for boot options in your BIOS settings. 

Now Enable these three settings

In this way you can create your Removable Bootable Drive. You must have a backup of your operating system or image file so that when requirement needed, you can easily be able to boot your PC using your pendrive.
