Hard Disk Drive Partition

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

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.

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.

Note:

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