    How difficult is it to replace my hard drive???
    « on: September 18, 2007, 05:25:09 PM »
    I think if I replace my Hard Drive, I will have less problems. (My HD is full)

    Anyway, I found some diagrams on google searches which show how to change a HD. It does not look difficult even though I have no clue whatsoever about the inside of a tower.  Does anyone know of a super simple diagram? I called Sony and was told to get a 200GB or better but NOT a SATA.

    One more thing...Once I change it, do I just load the XP Recovery discs? Will everything just load itself???

    If you can install the new hard drive as a Slave you don't have to reinstall your operating system or programs.   You could move existing data files to the new hard drive to free up space on your C: drive.

    One good deed is worth more than a year of good intentions.
