Configuring Your VAIO Computer
Hard Disk Drive Partition
To maintain optimum system performance, you should defragment your computer’s D partition regularly.
To improve the performance of Sony audio and video software applications, the hard disk drive on your computer has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. Some Sony software applications save files to the D partition. This prevents large video captures from consuming the available space on your C partition.
Defragmenting your hard disk drive
If you encounter frame dropping while recording digital video onto your hard disk drive, defragmentation may be necessary.
1Deactivate your screen saver and close other open applications, if applicable.
2Click Start in the Windows Taskbar and select All Programs.
3Point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then select Disk Defragmenter.
The Disk Defragment dialog box appears.
4Select Action from the menu bar and click Analyze.
✍It may take more than a couple of hours to complete defragmentation, depending on the data capacity and current utilization of your computer’s hard disk drive(s).
