Assigning A Drive Letter To The Hp Personal Media Drive; Viewing And Storing Files - HP z558 Software Manual

Assigning a Drive Letter to the
HP Personal Media 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 files on your HP Personal Media Drive
if a drive letter is assigned. Some programs may not be
able to find files if the drive changes letters every time you
connect it.
To assign a drive letter:
1
Click Start.
2
Right-click My Computer.
3
Select Manage, and then click Disk
Management.
4
Right-click HP Personal Media Drive.
5
Select Change Drive Letter and Paths. HP
recommends that you pick the drive letter Z.

Viewing and Storing Files

The recommended way to transfer files to your
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 PMD setup wizard. See "Setting Up the
HP Personal Media Drive to Work with Media Center"
on page 130.
6
Click Change and select a letter, and then apply the
changes by clicking OK.
n
To avoid multiple hard disk drives using the
same drive letter when connecting and
removing the drives, assign the letter Z.
