Only the original drive would do. Obviously during the install process the F403 checks its hardware and if any change it refusues to install correcly. Is there a way to overcome this ?:smileysad:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 29 Aug 2004 12:09:09 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/upgrading-harddisk-on-f304/m-p/66802#M125525 pcramwinckel 2004-08-29T12:09:09Z Re: upgrading harddisk on F304 https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/upgrading-harddisk-on-f304/m-p/66803#M125526 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thats odd.<BR />Usually it goes without fault.<BR /><BR />Have you checked for a BIOS update?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 29 Aug 2004 15:04:05 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/upgrading-harddisk-on-f304/m-p/66803#M125526 kee-lo_ 2004-08-29T15:04:05Z
