How do i transfer OEM Sony Recovery Partition into new hard drive?
Hi Guys,
I bought a sony vaio laptop VPCYB15AG in 2011(only 1 year warranty). Few days ago everytime when i switch on or restart my machine a message will pop up saying "smart hard disk failure, please consider to backup your files", press ESC to continue". Then it will load to desktop as normal.
I have called sony service center in my area to change the new hard disk, but the price are too expensive.
I want to know if i can just buy the new internal hard disk brand Hitachi or others from computer hardware shops to replace the broken hard disk? if yes, do i need to get the same hard disk brand? (hitachi)? Can you guys give some brands/model that suit my laptop model?
I also want to know can i keep/transfer the OEM Win 7 starter,pre installed softwares and recovery partition into the new hard disk?
I just want to change the new hard disk but keep everything else that comes with OEM from sony including the recovery partition.
I have created the recovery disks.
Please help me guys, and pardon me for my bad english.
