Common problem faced when upgrading to a non-compatible OS. I upgraded my Vaio S to Windows 7 (and all I had was Windows XP drivers). The screen brightness and volume Fn keys didn't work, heh. That's the price we've gotta pay for upgrading, I guess.

You could try to Google for help, but that's all you've got.

owh really? shocking.gif

hmm looks like i have to install back win vista.. if just the botton didnt works well,i still can accept but mine the screen was small and all icons n window are very big sweat.gif . i tried install a few graphic driver for some vaio and also official nvidia driver from Nvidia website but still do not make any difference.

really hope can using windows 7 but not so smooth process.. rclxub.gif

Well, i got the SB16FG black.. Swell machine.. Sign me up as an owner
Razor thin, can fight Macbook for performance and looks anytime.. I think the LCD panel can slice a person's neck leh..
trying to get Crysis 2 to try its performance.. Running PS is smooth..

Specs say it got one 4gb RAM, so will be getting another 4 Gb RAM (hopefully similar model and brand) so it can run as pair. Heard it will be better as a pair too.

Only grip is the HDD is only 320 Gb 5400rpm. Why not give 7200rpm model, hai...
And the ports all on the right side only, even with the power inset, kensington lock.. so crammed..
Anyone know how to change the HDD? The manual does not show where the HDD is or whether we can change it DIY..

Make sure you burn ur recovery data DVD bro. Then change the hard disk and insert that recovery DVD then it will guide u to install OS and application like factory option bro. You can select any size of partition that u want. Quite easy afterall. I've did in on my old SZ when replace the hard disk.

I saw VAIO SB16 selling at only RM2999 from BEST Subang Parade.

With that price, will it be a solid contender to ASUS' U31SD?

On start menu, type diskmgmt.msc,
then right click your C:\, choose to shrink volume.
After done, you will have new unallocated space. You can use it to create new partition.

can make any amount? going to split 50-50..but seems it said that i can only shrink max 99gb rclxub.gif
