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.

Disconnecting the Drive Safely

CAUTION: To avoid hardware damage
and data loss, always disconnect your
HP Personal Media Drive safely when it is
not saving or transferring data.

1 Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware

icon in the system tray at the bottom of the
desktop. The Safely Remove Hardware
window opens.

NOTE:

For some PCs, this may be called the

Unplug Hardware or Eject Hardware icon.

2 Double-click USB Mass Storage Device. This

name may appear differently for some PCs.

NOTE

: USB Mass Storage Device may be listed

twice. One may contain a memory card reader or
other mass storage drives. Look for the label of this
