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.
✍
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).
