HP HD20000x Personal Media Drive - Manual (Page 9)

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 Personal
Media Drive. You can rename the drive in the
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, click the
Windows Vista start button then click
Computer for a list of all of the internal and external
drives. On Windows XP, open My Computer.

and data loss, always disconnect your
