Locating the Drive and Assigning a Drive Letter

When you plug the drive into an USB 2.0 connector or insert it into an HP Media Drive bay, the operating system automatically assigns a letter to the hard disk drive. The assigned letter depends on other storage devices connected to your computer.

To locate the drive:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.

2Click Computer.

3Select the drive under Hard Disk Drives or Devices with Removable Storage. The default volume name of this drive is HP Personal Media Drive or HP Pocket 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 external hard disk drive.
