Using Your HP Personal

Media Drive

Once installed, you can use the HP Personal 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.

About HP SureStore Backup

Software

No software installation required. HP SureStore runs
directly from your HP Personal Media Drive.

Easily back up all of your digital music, photo, video,
recorded TV, gaming, or other data files.

Easily restore any or all of your backed up files.

Automatically backs up changes whenever the computer
is idle for 5 minutes.

Can be used to back up multiple computers.

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 your HP Personal Media Drive to the

computer.

2 Select your files and then drag and drop them to

your HP Personal Media Drive in the Computer

window.

3 Disconnect your HP Personal Media Drive and then

connect it to another computer.

4 Select your files and then drag and drop them to the

other 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 Personal Media Drive to

store and play CD-ROM games.

Using Your HP Personal Media

Drive with an HP Computer and

Personal Media Drive Bay

Some HP computers have a dedicated drive bay for

your HP Personal Media Drive. For more information,

refer to the documentation that came with your

computer. For information on using your HP Personal

Media Drive with an older version of HP Media

Center PC, go to http://www.hp.com/support

and enter the model number of your computer or

HP Personal Media Drive.

Using the Security Lock

Your drive includes a security locking slot on the back

of the drive. The security locking slot is compatible

with most security locking cables, including those

offered by Kensington.
These security cables are designed to prevent

unauthorized removal of the drive by locking it to an

unmovable object.
For more information about Kensington locking

cables, you can go to:
