Getting Started with Your

HP Personal Media Drive

You can get started with your HP Personal Media

Drive in a few easy steps. First insert the installation

CD to install the software for the HP Personal Media

Drive, and then connect the power cable and USB

cable. Refer to the instructions that follow.

Installing Software from the

Installation CD

NOTE: Only install the applications that are

compatible with your language and your PC

operating system.

To install HP Personal Media Drive drivers and

software:

1 Insert the HP Personal Media Drive Installation CD.

A menu of installation options appears when the PC

recognizes the CD.

2 Your system automatically installs the correct

drivers.

3 Select a language by clicking the drop-down

arrow.

4 Select the items you want to install by placing a

check in the check box next to the software.

5 Click Install Software, click OK, and then

follow the onscreen instructions to install the

software program. The programs are installed

automatically.

6 After installing the software, restart the PC.

If available, read the Read-Me file for any updates

and changes to the software programs.

Inserting the HP Personal Media

Drive into HP PCs with Integrated

Drive Bay

The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to work with

most PCs as an external drive that is connected using

a USB cable, but it also can be inserted into specially

designed HP PCs. These PCs have a special drive bay

that includes an internal USB port and power cable

that connects to the HP Personal Media Drive. The HP

Personal Media Drive can be easily inserted and

removed from the hard drive bay without turning off

the PC, sometimes referred to as warm swappable.

Some HP PCs have vertically oriented drive bays and

some have horizontally oriented drive bays; both

accommodate your HP Personal Media Drive.

WARNING: Do not move the PC with the

HP Personal Media Drive inserted in the

bay or connected to a USB port on the PC.

This can cause damage to the drive and

data loss.

Before moving the PC, it should be turned

off and the HP Personal Media Drive

should be removed or disconnected

safely.

To insert the HP Personal Media Drive into a specially

designed HP PC:

1 Line up the ridges on the bottom of the drive with

the two slots on the correct side of the PC drive

bay. Do not force the drive into the bay; it should

slide easily into the bay.

2 Slide the drive all the way into the drive bay until

the drive is firmly connected to the internal power

and USB cables. When the PC is turned on, and

the drive is inserted correctly, the power LED on the

front of the drive is lit.

indicators, a USB connector, a power connector, and

NOTE: The PC may take several seconds to recognize

the HP Personal Media Drive.

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

drive, which is HP Personal Media Drive.
