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 computer.
The default volume label of this drive is HP Pocket
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 Pocket Media Drive.
To locate your HP Pocket Media Drive, double-click
the My Computer icon for a list of all of the internal
