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.
✍
Certain models may already have additional hard disk drives installed that support the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology.
The installation information provided in this section may not apply if you have purchased a model that supports RAID.
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 Sony online support Web site 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 Sony online support Web site.
* 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.
