Hi jeeplover4vr,

Please press and hold the F2 Key while restarting the Computer to access the BIOS Utility Windows/BIOS settings. Please make sure that you press and hold the F2 Key at the Sony VAIO Logo screen while restarting the Computer to access the BIOS window. You may need to press the F10 Key to Save the changes made, F9 to restore the default values or Esc to exit the BIOS.

You're on the right track--it doesn't need to be custom-manufactured for Sony notebooks--just needs to be an internal mobile IDE-PATA hard drive. Still, I would recommend at least looking for something name brand with a decent warranty. Amazon and Newegg.com both have the Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250GB) for $79.99. That's a decent price (not mind-boggling), but more importantly it's a solid size/price reference point--e.g., if you find a 500GB name-brand hard drive for the same price, pull the trigger immediately.
