Yes, but why do you want to ?? You'll be paying $100 for 120GB extra.

Why is backing-up your files, to give more space, not an option?

    Hi

    Sony Viao Laptops are some of the hardest laptops to get at the hard drive. Normally you have to  remove the keyboard and front palm rest. If this is the case then i would agree with getting an external hard drive. If you do replace the internal drive either copy the current drive to the new one or make the viao recovery dvd's, well you should have done that already.  This will allow you to restore the laptop to factory.
