Using the Drive

When running for long periods of time, the aluminum case of the HP 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 PC, please place the drive in a well-ventilated area.

To store files

The best way to transfer files to the HP Personal Media Drive is to drag them from your local hard disk drive. This allows you to place files in specific folders. Refer to the following procedures for more detailed instructions about creating linked folders.
