There is no SD slot on this XP computer, you need to fit a USB reader into the USB socket then you can connect the SD card via that. Check if it takes your type of SD card (micro, standard, min)

SOURCE: Need service manual or instructions on replacing

The hard drive is inside of the laptop and not accessible from the outside. The way to get to the hard drive is to take out all the screws from the bottom of the laptop, take the keyboard out and there may be some screws there that need to be removed. The dvd drive needs to come out and where the dvd drive normally is, check for screws there.

At this point you can remove the top cover assembly and you will see the hard drive. Remove the screws that are holding the hard drive in place and then it will come out.

Testimonial: "Thanks I realize that the unit needed to be seperated however without a service manual there may be some important tips that could be missed."

SOURCE: I have recently installed Windows

Hi,

I checked the information and found that the computer does not qualify for a Windows 7 Upgrade from Sony. But as we have tried, Windows Vista drivers work with Windows 7 as the core for both the OS is same. I suggest that you download install Memory Card driver for Windows Vista from the below link to resolve the issue with the SD Card. I have also provided the link to download Sony Shared Library which you should install first.

Is there a spot for a sd card on the sony vgn-c140g

If there is one it will be on side or front of the computer. You can always buy a sd card reader that plugs into your usb port.

Try buying a SD Card Reader that reads many formats from Tiger Direct at:

http://www.tigerdirect.com

When the site comes up just type: SD Card Reader in the white search box at the top of the page then click GO.

Or if you camera came with cables you can plug one end into the camera and the other end into the computer's usb port and turn the camera on. The computer will recognize it and you can search through the folders on the camera for the pictures.
