HP PD0800 Pocket Media Drive - Manual (Page 10)

Using Your HP Pocket
Media Drive Software
Once installed, you can use the HP Pocket Media
Drive the same way you use the other drives on your
computer. You can move or copy files or folders from
one drive to another. Because of the capacity of this
drive, you can save large media files such as video
clips, digital images, and hard disk drive backup files.
Transferring files to another
computer manually
You can transfer your computer profile information,
which includes how your computer looks and feels as
well as the personal files such as photos, music, or
video you have created.
To transfer your files manually:
1 Connect the drive to the computer.
2 Select your files and then drag and drop them to
the HP Pocket Media Drive in My Computer.
3 Disconnect the drive and then connect it to another
computer.
4 Select your files and then drag and drop them to
the new computer’s hard disk drive.
Playing games
CD-ROM games typically run faster when they are
installed on a hard disk drive than when they run on a
CD. You can use your HP Pocket Media Drive to store
and play CD-ROM games.
Using your HP Pocket Media Drive
with an HP Media Center PC
Some versions of the HP Media Center PCs have a

the security features of your system. See

how to install service packs and Windows updates in
your system. Contact Microsoft Customer Service for

enhancements if you don’t have Internet access.
Drive does not appear on my
computer
Try the following solutions in the order listed:
1 Check to see if the drive is on. The power LED on
the front of the drive should be lit.
2 Check that the USB cable is securely and properly
connected to the drive and the USB connector on
the computer.
3 While the computer is turned on, unplug the USB
cable. Wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect
the USB cable.
4 See if the computer is recognizing the USB port you
are using by checking in the Device Manager
window. See the documentation that came with
your computer for more information.
A message appears that states I have
a high-speed device connected to a
low-speed port (Windows XP)
This is normal. Windows XP displays a message that
you have connected your USB 2.0 drive to a USB 1.1
port. You will not have the high-speed capabilities that
you would have using a USB 2.0 port.
