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. The C partition holds 40% and the D partition holds 60% of
the entire drive capacity. DVgate 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, you should defragment or format the
D partition regularly.
