HP PD6400z Pocket Media Drive - Manual (Page 10)

Using Your HP Pocket
Media Drive
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.
