I've no idea how to access the hard disk in this model though. I've opened the panels on the back and I can't see it.<BR /><BR />Am I going to have to open the whole laptop? Or is there a secret trap-door I'm missing....?:smileywink:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Feb 2005 13:24:36 GMT simonoeff 2005-02-22T13:24:36Z How to access hard disk - PCG-FX105K https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-access-hard-disk-pcg-fx105k/m-p/61132#M113518 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I've been handed a PCG-FX105K, which is pretty much dead I think, but I suspect the hard-disk and data are okay.<BR /><BR />I've been tasked with getting that data off, and onto a new laptop, so I thought I'd whip out the hard disk and put it in a USB caddy, and copy the data to another PC.
