Configuring Your VAIO Computer

Hard Disk Drive Partition

To maintain optimum system performance, you should defragment your
computer’s D partition regularly.
In order to improve the performance of Sony audio/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.

i.LINK (IEEE1394) Compatibility

Your VAIO computer may include either 4-pin or 6-pin, or both types, of i.LINK
ports.
✍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).
