About storage space for recorded TV programs
The amount of storage space available for TV recording is based on your hard disk dive size, allocation, and the recording
quality settings. Your computer requires space to run the operating system, software programs, and store data files. Your
computer's performance is affected when the hard disk drive becomes full.
You can free up hard disk space to record more programs or to improve your computer's speed and performance with these
options.

Delete recorded TV programs from the Recorded TV window. For more information, see Recording TV Programs.

Increase the percentage of hard disk space allocated for recording TV programs. Go to the Recorder storage
window and set a disk allocation of between 5 and 90 percent.
 Record your TV programs to the largest drive partition.
Media Center does not support recording to removable drives, network drives, or drives with less than 5 MB of
available space.
