About Your Hard Disk Drive Partition
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.
To maintain optimum system performance, you should defragment your
computer’s D partition regularly.

capacity and current utilization of your computer’s hard disk drive(s).
