About the Partitions of your Hard
Disk Drive
In the "My Computer" window, you may have noticed the availability of two drives:
C and D (depending on the model).
Due to the high capacity of your hard disk drive, it may have been partitioned at the
factory to allow your system to reach some data more efficiently and quickly,
increasing the speed of the operations.
This partition is logical and doesn't mean that your computer contains a physical
second hard disk.
Disk space allocation
Your C: drive contains all the files required by Windows and the other pre-installed
software. The D: drive is empty in order to allow you to store a big amount of data,
like digital motion pictures captured by DVgate Motion or other disk space
consuming files.
