Recording Tv Programs To The Hp Media Drive; Changing The Tv Recording Path To The Hp Media Drive - HP A6110n - Pavilion - 2 GB RAM Getting Started Manual

If you disconnect the drive while live TV is active, a video error can occur.
Recorded TV programs are not updated in Windows Media Center when the drive is
removed.
The drive might be assigned a different drive letter, which prevents Windows Media
Center from recognizing the recording path or the stored recorded TV files.
When you set the TV recording path to the HP Media Drive, Windows Media Center
stores the recording buffer data for pausing live TV on the drive. This means that if live TV
is playing, you won't be able to remove the drive safely.
To avoid this scenario, change the recording path back to your local hard disk drive, and
then restart the computer before disconnecting the HP Media Drive.
