My sony vaio is PLAUGED with HardDrive failiers
i think its that model (don't know it rite now)
infact, out of all the *don't buy sony vaio's they are shiz* what people say, its not true, i clean reinstalled vista, and almost everything (drivers) for all the fancy add-ones worked
unlike my Acer Aspire 5920G that i have now, i clean installed vista on it and it was dead in the water, i coudn't even connect to the internet cuz the wireless and wired lan card's didn't work, i had to download them off my other computer and USB drive them over *sigh*
AND THEN i had to install at least 10 drivers from the ACER support site to get the computer running... sorta
even then the 5920G is really really really good bang for buck, i woudn't recomend it
