Identifying HP 3D DriveGuard status

The hard drive light on the computer changes color to show that the drive in a primary hard drive bay and/or 

the drive in a secondary hard drive bay (select products only) is parked. To determine whether a drive is 

currently protected or whether it is parked, view the icon on the Windows desktop in the notification area, at 

the far right of the taskbar.

Updating programs and drivers

HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis. Updates can resolve issues

out of your equipment.
Go to

register to receive automatic notifications when updates become available.
If you would like to update your programs and drivers, follow these instructions:
