HP HD1600s Personal Media Drive - Manual (Page 10)

Locating the Drive
When you plug the drive into a USB 2.0 connector,
the operating system automatically assigns a hard disk
drive letter to it. The assigned letter depends on other
storage devices connected to your PC.
The default volume label of this drive is HP Personal
Media Drive. You can rename the drive in the My
Computer window by right-clicking the drive, selecting
Rename, and then typing in a new name. HP
recommends renaming a drive if you have more than
one HP Personal Media Drive.
To locate your HP Personal Media Drive, open
My Computer for a list of all of the internal and
external drives. For more information on opening
My Computer, refer to the Help files in your operating
system or the documentation that came with your PC.
