Upgrading Your VAIO Computer

Installing the Hard Disk Drive

Your computer may be equipped with open internal bays to hold additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives. See the online Specifications for details about the installed hard disk drive.

Review the manufacturer's information provided with your new hard disk drive before attempting to install it in the computer.

Replacing the Original Hard Disk Drive

If you replace the original, factory-installed hard disk drive, you may need to correct the drive mapping, and/or create a VAIO Recovery Media Kit. Visit the VAIO-Link web site (www.vaio-link.com) for more information.

About drive mapping

When a new hard disk drive is installed, the original drive mapping* may be changed. The identified drives, including those for removable media, may not reflect correct drive/icon associations. For more information on how to correct the drive mapping, visit the VAIO-Link web site (www.vaio-link.com).

*Drive mapping refers to the assignment of an identifying letter to a specific drive, such as Drive C or Drive D which identify the original hard disk drive.
