- Creating Other Drives (modifying partitions)
- Partitions are divided areas on your built-in storage device. Dividing the built-in storage device into more than one partition may have various advantages, such as separating the system files from your data files.
- Creating Partitions during Recovery
- There are two ways to create partitions: using Windows and creating during recovery.
- Creating Partitions in Windows
- The Windows feature allows you to create a partition without recovering your VAIO computer system.
- Removing Recovery Contents to Free up Disk Space
- Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for system recovery is stored. If your VAIO computer includes a solid state drive (SSD), you might want to minimize the recovery area by removing such data.
