■If you disconnect the drive while Live TV is active, a video error can occur.

■Recorded TV shows are not updated in Media Center when the drive is removed.

■The drive may be assigned a different drive letter, which prevents Media Center from recognizing the recording path or the stored Recorded TV files.

When you set the TV recording pathway to your HP Personal Media Drive, Media Center stores the recording buffer data for pausing live TV on your drive. This means that if live TV is playing, you will not be able to remove the drive safely.

To avoid this scenario, change the recording pathway back to your local hard disk drive, and then restart the PC before disconnecting the HP Personal Media Drive.
