A: If you notice that your system is slow to respond due to unusual floppy disk drive activity, it
could be because of Find Fast. To determine if Find Fast is present, click Start, point to Programs,
and then point to Startup. Removing this item may remedy the problem.
Supplementary Information
Upgrading Your Computer
If you remove the chassis cover to access the inside of your computer, be sure to use the three
screws that hold the back panel in position when you replace the cover. If you remove the front
panel to access the drive bay, be sure to replace the front panel.
Connecting a Digital Video Recorder
Before connecting a digital video camera recorder to your computer, turn off the power on the
camera. After connecting the camera, turn the power back on. You do not need to turn off the
computer when connecting a camera.
Connecting to i.LINK® Ports
Your VAIO
®
computer includes a 4-pin i.LINK connector on the front of the system and a 6-pin
i.LINK connector on the back of the system. A 6-pin i.LINK connector can supply power from the
computer to the connected device if the device is equipped with a 6-pin connector. A 6-pin
connector supplies 10V to 12V. The total power supplied by the 6-pin i.LINK connector cannot
exceed 6 watts. A 4-pin i.LINK connector cannot supply power to a connected device. The following
Sony i.LINK 400 Mbps cables are available and recommended for use with your computer:
VMC-IL4415, VMC-IL4435, VMC-IL4615, VMC-IL4635, VMC-IL6615, and VMC-IL6635. Sony
computer supplies, accessories, and peripherals can be purchased from your dealer or by
contacting Sony at
http://www.sony.com/accessories .
Connecting Computers by i.LINK Interface
When connecting more than two computers by i.LINK interface, none of the connected computers
should enter Suspend, Hibernation, or Standby mode during a file transfer, as this could result in a
loss of data. If one of the connected computers does enter a power saving mode, resume power,
then disconnect and reconnect the i.LINK cable. Note that if you connect a notebook docking
station using an i.LINK cable, you cannot use Smart Connect when the computer is not in the
docking station.
Hard Drive Partition
In order to improve the performance of your computer's DVgate Motion software, the hard disk
drive on your computer has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. DVgate Motion saves files
to the D partition. This prevents large video captures from consuming the available space on your C
partition. To maintain optimum performance of DVgate Motion, you should defragment your D
partition regularly.
