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.

Defragmenting your hard disk drive

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

1

Deactivate your screen saver and close other open applications, if applicable.

2

Click Start in the Windows taskbar and select All Programs.

3

Point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then select Disk
Defragmenter
.

The Disk Defragment dialog box appears.

4

Select Action from the menu bar and click Analyze.

It may take a long time to complete the defragmenting process, depending on the data
capacity and current utilization of your computer’s hard disk drive(s).
