Replacing the Hard Drive

Important Information About

Recorded TV Programs

When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any files or software that you created, saved, or installed on the HP Digital Entertainment Center. Because of this, you also lose a special code that Microsoft includes in the files of recorded TV programs. Without the code, Media Center cannot play TV programs previously recorded to disk or copied to DVD or to other media.

For more information about safeguarding your recorded TV programs, refer to the Media Center Edition 2005 Software Guide.

Procedure

To replace the hard drive:

1Make sure you have the recovery discs (DVDs) included with the HP Digital Entertainment Center System.

2Back up your data to the personal media drive or burn it to DVD.

3Close Media Center and all other programs that may be accessing the hard drive.

4Turn off the HP Digital Entertainment Center.

5Disconnect the power cable from the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
