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 the
HP Personal 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 best to always remove your drive safely to avoid
errors. See “Disconnecting the HP Personal Media
Drive Safely” on page 29.
