HP Personal Media Drive
The HP Digital Entertainment Center front panel includes
a drive bay that houses the HP Personal Media Drive. The
drive bay has an internal USB port and power connector.
The HP Personal Media Drive can also function as an
external USB hard disk drive. You must connect an
external USB port and power cable.
You can easily insert and remove the drive from the bay
without turning off the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
You can use the HP Personal Media Drive without
installing the included software. However, HP
recommends that you install the software to have access
to additional features and read the documentation.
For more information about installing the software, refer
to the documentation that came with the HP Personal
Media Drive. For more information about using an HP
Personal Media Drive to store and transfer information,
refer to the Media Center Edition 2005 Software Guide.

Do not move the drive while it is operating, to
avoid hardware damage and potential data
loss. You can safely remove your drive only
after you have completely run the Safely
Remove Hardware wizard (located in the
system tray at the bottom of the screen).
After you have safely disconnected and
powered off the drive, handle the drive by
the plastic endcaps to avoid touching the
aluminum sides if they are hot.
The drive may feel warm. This is normal to
allow faster heat dissipation.
