It may be that your machine can not handle a drive of that size. When I replace hard drives I always try to replace them with the size they came with just in case they do not support a larger size.

click this link for download and install this driver also
Thanks Good Luck
Appreciate to rate as "Fixya"

go to your BIOS Setup, see to it that there is a Hard Disk Boot Priority, maybe you didn't put it there.

See if this helps:

I'm glad to provide the price of the VAIO Notebook. Please click hear to view the price of the Notebook.

However, I have seen the same model with white color with a little low price. The only difference between E/P and E/W is it's color and P refers to Pink and W Refers to White.
Click hear to view the price of the E/W from Sony itself.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

For starters when the wireless card gets bad..usually you couldn't see the signal or nearby wireless broadcast.
I assume you can see it, because you said you got problems with packets.
it could be cause by many factors.
Wireless router misconfigurations, but the most common is interference.
If your wireless router is broadcasting in the same channel as ...lets say a cordless phone...your connection will be dropping frequently.
Also, neighbors using the same channel as well can cause the same problem.

Seems to me that the problem is in the wireless router, and not in your wireless card.

Don't forget to rate this answer if it helps.

sounds like the fan in your laptop is failing or is damaged, when you run graphic intensive applications and the fan turns on is that then you hear the noise if so it is your fan and you should see about getting it replaced because the components in your laptop will over heat and stop working.

Welcome to Fixya

Sound like you have a video card problem. Try to drain first the electorstatic charge of the board. Take out the battery and unplug the power adapter from the computer. Press and hold the power button for 10 secs. Put everything back and tun ON the computer. If same thing happens, try to use an external monitor. If the computer has VGA port, you can use regular LCD screen to your laptop. If still no display then its gonna be the video card is having the problem.

Yes as long as you can use your laptop without a problem..But if you will continue adding games application in your laptop there is a tendency it may perform slow because of low memory, Games software especially games with a high resolution graphics eat a lot of memory and hard disk space so if you have a lot of game like this 4 gb will be not enough in the future..Hope it will help you

You need to get one of these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002You need to pull the hard drive out of your AIO unit and hook it up to this device, and plug it in to a usb port on another computer that works and get the data you need off of it.
