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 the 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.

You can permanently assign a drive letter to avoid the letter changing when you connect and disconnect this drive and other devices. Also, it is easier for a software program to locate the files on the HP Media Drive if a drive letter is assigned. Some programs may not be able to find files if the drive has a new drive letter.

It is always best to remove the drive safely to avoid errors. See “Disconnecting the Drive.”

To assign a drive letter:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar.

2Right-click Computer.

3Select Manage.

4Click Disk Management.

NOTE: To avoid multiple hard disk drives from using the same drive letter when connecting and removing the drives, assign the letter Z.
