42 VAIO Computer System Reference Manual About Hard Disk Drive Installation Your computer comes with an available internal bay to hold a second standard 3.5-inch hard disk drive. Some models, such as Configure-toOrder (CTO) systems, may already have a second hard disk drive installed. Your system can support ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 hard disk drives. Sony recommends using an ATA-100 hard disk drive to take full advantage of your system's features. ✍ The hard disk drive access indicator is lit when either internal hard disk drive is active. ! Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you upgrade your Sony computer. Replacing the original hard disk drive If you replace the original, factory-installed hard disk drive, your system cannot restore the drive partitions, operating system, or original software, using the preinstalled Hard Drive Recovery utility. The Hard Drive Recovery utility is a quick and easy-to-use program that can restore your system if it becomes unstable or stops working properly. To enable you to recover your system with the VAIO Recovery utility, you can purchase a Partition Recovery CD Assembly (Partition Recovery ASSY) to restore your system. Follow these steps to order the Partition Recovery CD Assembly: 1 Connect to the Internet. 2 Go to the Sony Direct Accessories and Parts Center Web site at http://servicesales.sel.sony.com. 3 In the section, Search by Model for Accessories, type in your computer model and click List Parts and accessories. 4 From the list of accessories, locate the Partition Recovery ASSY and click the option, Add to Cart. 5 Click Continue to Check Out, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your purchase. ✍ If you are not able to access the Sony Direct Accessories and Parts Center Web site, contact a customer service representative at 1-800-488-7669.
