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.
