Introduction

Thank you for selecting the HP Personal Media Drive.

This drive is an external hard disk drive with a large

capacity designed to quickly and easily store and

transfer media files such as digital photos, music,

video, and other important files.

The HP Personal Media Drive connects and

disconnects easily from a USB 2.0 connector on

the front or back of most computers.

For some HP Computers, the HP Personal Media Drive

is designed to fit inside a horizontal or vertical

drive bay.

Your HP Personal Media Drive comes with backup

software (select models only) that is compatible with

most Microsoft®Windows®Operating systems.

Safe Handling Information

The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to be used

as a stationary unit. It is very important that you

handle this drive carefully to avoid hardware damage

and data loss. Please read the following warnings

before attempting to install, use, or move your

HP Personal Media Drive.

Care and Handling of Your

HP Personal Media Drive

WARNING: The warnings for the care

and handling of the HP Personal Media

Drive are listed below.

•Do not move the drive while it is operating to avoid

hardware damage and potential data loss. You can

safely move your drive only when you have

properly disconnected and powered off the drive

through the operating system.

•When running for long periods of time, the

aluminum case of the Personal Media Drive may

become very warm. This is part of the HP Personal

Media Drive’s advanced design and is completely

normal.

•The built-in, low-noise fan is designed to

automatically turn on at pre-set temperatures. If you

are using the HP Personal Media Drive connected

externally to your computer, please place the drive

in a well-ventilated area.

•Do not move the computer with the HP Personal

Media Drive attached to a USB port, or while

inserted into specially designed Hewlett-Packard

computer drive bays.

•Incorrect handling, such as dropping the drive, can

cause data loss and invalidates the warranty.

•Do not attempt to open the drive’s case. This action

voids the warranty.

•Do not set the drive on its side, as it may fall over

and cause damage.

•Do not remove any cables or power cords without

properly disconnecting the drive through the

operating system.

•Do not set any liquids or drinks on the drive. Liquids

can damage the internal electronics.

•Do not block airflow around the drive while the

drive is turned on.

•Do not stack anything on top of the drive; this can

overheat and damage your drive.

System Requirements

The following are the system minimum requirements:

•Windows®XP, or Vista®

•Available USB port

Getting Started with Your

HP Personal Media Drive

To use your HP Personal Media Drive, simply connect

the power cable and USB cable.

Inserting the HP Personal Media

Drive into HP Computers with

Integrated Drive Bay

The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to work with

most computers as an external drive that is connected

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

specially designed HP computers. These computers

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 computer, sometimes referred to

as warm swappable.

Some HP computers have vertically oriented drive

bays and some have horizontally oriented drive bays;

both accommodate your HP Personal Media Drive.

WARNING: Do not move the computer

with the HP Personal Media Drive inserted

in the bay or connected to a USB port on

the computer. This can cause damage to

the drive and data loss.

Before moving the computer, 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 computer:

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

the two slots on the correct side of the computer

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

should slide easily into the bay.

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

the drive is firmly connected to the internal power

and USB cables. When the computer is turned on,

and the drive is inserted correctly, the power LED on

the front of the drive is lit.

HP Personal Media Drive User’s Guide 5

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.

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.

1Double-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 computers, this may be called the

Unplug Hardware or Eject Hardware icon.

2Double-click USB Mass Storage Device. This

name may appear differently for some computers.

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.

3Select your device, and then click OK. A Safe to

Remove Hardware message appears in the System

tray at the bottom of your desktop letting you know

that the device is safe to disconnect.

4Disconnect the drive from the computer.

NOTE: If your computer does not allow you to

disconnect the drive safely, you may need to close all

applications and documents, and then try again

to disconnect the drive.

6HP Personal Media Drive User’s Guide

Formatting the Drive

for Windows

CAUTION: Reformatting a hard disk drive

destroys all data on the drive. If you have

data that you want to keep, back up the

data before reformatting the drive. If the

drive is reformatted, you will also lose the

included HP SureStore Backup Software. To

obtain a replacement copy, visit

www.hp.com/support.

Your HP Personal Media Drive was formatted at the

factory for NTFS. This file system supports large media

files that are larger than 4 GB.

Some computers use the FAT32 file system to organize

files on the computer. This system is supported under

Windows XP.

With FAT32, a single file is limited in size to 4 GB.

This may create a problem when you are creating

backup files. If you need to use this disk drive on a

computer that requires FAT32, you need to reformat

the drive.

If your computer has been upgraded to Windows XP,

your computer was automatically reformatted to use

NTFS.

Reformatting the Drive

with a FAT32 File System

If you have an older operating system such as

Windows ME, you may need to reformat the

HP Personal Media Drive with a FAT32 file system.

If your BIOS is older, it only supports 4 to16 gigabyte

partitions. If you do not want your drive partitioned,

go to the BIOS manufacturer’s Web site to download

a BIOS upgrade.

To reformat the drive with FAT32 on a Windows ME

system:

1Make sure the HP Personal Media Drive is NOT

connected to the computer.

2Click Start on the taskbar.

3Choose Settings and click Control Panel.

4Double-click System.

computer. See “Connecting the Drive to a

Computer without a Drive Bay” on page 5.

12 Double-click System.

13 Click the Device Manager tab.

connected to your system.

16 Click Properties.

17 Click the Settings tab.

18 Make sure that the Removable check box has a

check mark next to it. Click it if it does not.

2Click the Removable Disk icon. A message

appears asking you if you want to format the disk.

time if you choose.
