Configuring your VAIO Slimtop™ LCD Computer

Hard Drive Partition

In order to improve the performance of the DVgate software, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. The DVgate software saves files to the D partition. This prevents large video captures from consuming the available space on your C partition. To maintain optimum DVgate performance, you should defragment your D partition regularly.

Defragmenting your Hard Disk Drive

If you encounter frame dropping while recording digital video onto your hard disk drive, defragmentation may be necessary.

To defragment your hard disk drive

1Deactivate your screen saver, if applicable.

2From the Start menu, select Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.

3Run Disk Defragmenter.

✍It may take more than a couple of hours to complete defragmentation, depending on the data capacity and utilization of your computer’s hard disk drive(s).
