Hi Claire,
If your laptop is still under warranty, call Sony's tech support desk and they'll
replace it free of charge.
If the warranty has expired, it's still worth your
while giving them a call to find out what the procedure is to replace the drive and
whether that can only be carried out by a qualified technician or not.
Some laptops
will only work with the manufacturer's hard disk because of the means of installing
it. I'm not familiar with Sony laptops, but I used to work for HP and the disk drive
in "Omnibook" laptops is held in by a clip on the underside of the machine which
facilitates changing it without any technical knowledge on the part of the user.
If anything, it should tell you in the manual that you get with the laptop how
to change different parts.
