Hard Disk

Event:

An error occurred in the initialization of the hard disk.

Comment:

•The files on the hard disk cannot be recovered. This device must be recovered by using the recovery function in the hard disk or your own recovery DVDs that you have previously created.

Event:

Cannot start-up from the hard disk.

Comment:

Remove any media from the memory card reader and disconnect all third- party devices such as scanners, printers, floppy drives, etc. and try again.

•If the hard disk does not start-up with above process, you may need to perform hard disk drive recovery.

See the Recovery Center Guide in Help and Support for additional infor- mation on hard disk recovery.

Event:

Available hard disk space is low.

Comment:

Clean up the disk.

Temporary files and backup files are automatically created to make Windows' processes faster, so the free space on the hard disk is decreased. If you clean up the disk, the temporary files, etc. are deleted and the free space is increased.

Software Limitations

Event:

My software application does not launch.

Comment:

Some software applications require a minimum resolution higher than your current resolution setting. Please check back to our support website at http:// www.sony.com/pcsupport/ for software update.
