Viewing and Storing Files

The best way to transfer files to the HP Personal Media Drive is to drag them from your local hard disk drive to your HP Personal Media Drive.

If you want the files that are stored on your HP Personal Media Drive to appear in Media Center, you must drag them to the correct media folders,

such as My Personal Videos and My Personal Pictures on your HP Personal Media Drive. These media folders appear after you complete the installation setup wizard that came on the HP Personal Media Drive Installation CD. See “Setting Up the HP Personal Media Drive to Work with Media Center” on page 92.
