DVgate
In order to improve the performance of your notebook's DVgate motion software, the hard disk drive on your
notebook has been formatted with two partitions, C and D. The C partition holds 40 percent, and the D partition
holds 60 percent of the entire drive capacity. DVgate software 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
software, you should defragment or format the D partition regularly.
To defragment a partition
Before you defragment a partition, make sure you back up all files that you want to save.
 Click the Start button in the Windows ® taskbar.
 Click Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and then Disk Defragmenter. The Disk Defragmenter
window appears.
Select the drive you want to defragment from the list, and click the Defragment button. See Windows ® Help for more
information on defragmenting.
