Configuring your VAIO

Digital Studio™ Computer

Hard Disk 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.
