Connecting External Optical (Disc) Drives
Depending on the model you purchased, your computer may come equipped with a built-in optical drive. If not, you can
purchase an external optical drive, such as PC Card or i.LINK
1 drive, and connect it to your computer, so you can write to
and read CDs and DVDs. If you wish to purchase an external optical drive, shop Sony online at
http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio or contact your local retailer.
The Sony i.LINK optical drive is only compatible with certain Sony VAIO ® PCG series computers that are preinstalled
with Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Home Edition or Professional software.
