Sony PCV-RS100 Manuel

Your computer comes with an available internal bay to hold a second 
standard 3.5-inch hard disk drive. Some models, such as Configure-to-
Order (CTO) systems, may already have a second hard disk drive 
installed. Your system can support ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 hard 
disk drives. Sony recommends using an ATA-100 hard disk drive to take 
full advantage of your system's features.

If you replace the original, factory-installed hard disk drive, your system 
cannot restore the drive partitions, operating system, or original software, 
using the preinstalled Hard Drive Recovery utility.

The Hard Drive Recovery utility is a quick and easy-to-use program that 
can restore your system if it becomes unstable or stops working properly. 

To enable you to recover your system with the VAIO Recovery utility, you 
can purchase a Partition Recovery CD Assembly (Partition Recovery 
ASSY) to restore your system. 

Follow these steps to order the Partition Recovery CD Assembly:

1

Connect to the Internet.
