Configuring Your VAIO
Computer

Hard Disk Drive Partition

To maintain optimum system performance, you should defragment your
computer’s D partition regularly.

In order to improve the performance of Sony audio/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.

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.

i.LINK

(IEEE1394) Compatibility

Your VAIO computer may include either 4-pin or 6-pin, or both types, of i.LINK
ports.

It may take more than a couple of hours to complete defragmentation, depending on
the data capacity and utilization of your computer’s hard disk drive(s).
