I installed one on a PCG-fc209k, fairly straightforward process.

I have a website with some useful information so i'll try to find it for you...

Most laptop hardware changes are fairly simple (if they are possible) as they are modular and the items clip in and out.

Re: Has anyone ever installed a new hardrive on a sony vaio laptop
I don't know about the sony - but on this laptop (dell inspiron 5100) - all I had to do was undo 2 screws - take the old hdd out and pop the new one in (i had a spare hdd holder caddy thing)..

BUT

the old hdd had some diagnostic stuff on it in a hidden partition. I don't know if the sony does on it's hdd. It wasn't a problem on here as I can run the same stuff from one of the cd's i got with my laptop - but it's something else to think about.
