Fresh Install

[julius0202]

Hi there. Please could someone tell me if i changed my hard drive in my FE31Z to a higher capacity, would my backup disks i purchased from sony still work and allow me to install onto this new hard drive. Will it detect that there is a different hard drive or is it not that sensitive?

Cheers

Hi Aaron,

your backup disc's should work fine, it may be worth creating a second set of recovery disc's as a spare..

Alternatively you could purchase something like Acronis True Image and use this to create an image of your current drive, use the following link for more information on: Acronis True Image

Depending on what you have created a backup image of, you could restore your Vaio Operating system, applications, user settings, and all your personal data..

Make sure you check the dimensions of your new drive as some of the higher capacity 2.5 inch drives are larger then 9.5mm..
