Upgrading Your VAIO Computer

Drive letter assignment

When a new hard disk drive is installed, an identifying drive letter is assigned. The drive letter assignment becomes effective

after you register for the first time or after recovering your computer with the

VAIO Recovery

utility.

The

Click to DVD

software creates a new folder location on the new hard disk drive. This new folder is the default location

to save files created with the

Click to DVD

software.

❑

If the Microsoft Windows operating system identifies the new hard disk drive as drive D, the

Click to DVD

software saves

its files to a new folder on the new drive D.

❑

If the Windows operating system assigns another letter to the new hard disk drive, such as drive E or J, the

Click to DVD

software creates the new save folder on the new drive.

✍

When you start the

Click to DVD

software for the first time, after recovering the computer or installing a new hard disk drive, the software automatically

creates a new save folder on the new drive.
