What are you talking about? SATA = Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. Data is a word which means: Individual facts, statistics, or items of information. You can't enable data, since it is an idea, a concept, and was never un-enabled. You can't change a SATA drive to be data, since they are two entirely different things. Your question doesn't even make sense.

My Sony Vaio is really slow and really loud now what should I do?
My Sony Vaio is really slow and really loud now what should I do?
I bought a used Sony Vaio and for a few months it worked fine and ran quietly. But now, all of a sudden, the hard drive is making a LOT more noise, to the point where it is annoying, and it;s running a lot slower. Everything is taking a lot longer to load. What could be wrong with it, and what can I do?

Install Windows or whatever OS you are using again it MIGHT work.. Or leave the computer for a day without using and turn it off

First, how much is a lot more noise? If the defragmentation program supplied with Windows has never been run, then a lot of files are fragmented and the head of the hard drive has to do a lot of seeks to gather all the information needed, that makes a lot of noise. But first get yourself an external drive and copy all your important files and folders to the external drive, then run a backup (external drives usually come with backup software). Then run the defragmenter program, it might take quite a long time. Some malware, when it gets on a hard drive, tries to look at every file on the drive in an effort to report back to its owner what images are on the hard drive, and so it constantly accesses the hard drive. This will slow your computer way down as well as make a lot of noise. So you might need to run an anti-spyware program quick.

It sounds like you probably have adware/viruses/bloatware/spyware junk on it. Try running anti-virus or scanner like AdAware or Spybot on it to see if it helps.

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task. First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it. http://www.delete-computer-history.com/what-is-the-best-registry-cleaner.html 2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how: 1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser 2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options". 3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files. 4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK. 5. Click OK. 3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how: 1. Open your Start menu. 2. Click Run 3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe" 4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab 5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using. 6. Click "OK"

Order the system recovery disc set by model and serial number from Sony Support. http://esupport.sony.com/ If you created the recovery disc set or they came with your lap top use them and do a system repair or re install.

Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S
How can I get my Sony Vaio's static-detecting touch pad to work normally in my extremely dry house?
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S, and the touch pad is going crazy since I got home to my very dry house that has lots of static electricity in it. I had to run my shower to make the room humid enough to even operate my computer today. Is there some kind of trick I can do on myself to prepare my hands just before I touch the touch pad? The touch pad is considered "electro-static" if that helps at all.
