It came with a SATA Hitachi 80 GB and I'm replacing it with a SATA Western Digital 120 GB hard drive.
I ordered recovery disks from Sony since my original recovery was on the defective hard drive.
No problem. It should work fine with no modifications.
Note that some hard drives have an adapter on the pins so it will install in the computer. You need to take the adapter off and put it on your new drive. Sometimes the adapter is part of the mounting cage the drive sits in.

the easiest way to do that is image the original drive to the new drive. If the drives are the same form factor (physical size, especially thickness/height) it should all go rather seamlessly.

hi please check your note book compatibility documents i hope it should support .
but it is better that you please check the manuals that you got along with it or check it on the website of your notebook manufacturer.

It will work. I've swapped drives on a Sony laptop (with larger Hitachi drives) with no problem.
You might still be able to recover data from the old drive, if it's spinning, by booting with a linux live CD and running dd (or ddrescue, which you'd have to download from the web).
