    Hi all,

    First of all, thank you for the web. I have written about some posts since I have my new Sony laptop and it's very interessant. I have discovered a lot of options of this computer.

    However, I have a problem since some days with Windows Vista. When I start up, appears the logo VAIO Bios and then a black screen with the message:

    "Error: HDD protection feature failed
    Press ESC to continue..."

    If I press ESC the laptop works good but I don't know if it's an important error or not. I have found some post and I have read something about the update of HD drivers for Windows Vista at the posts:
    "http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=1803927&postcount=13
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=104223"

    I have downloaded it, but I don't know if it's correct for my laptop...it's a 'VGN-Z11WN'.

    Please, I need some advice, I'm very glad if you can help me.

    Thank you very much!
