Using Your HP Personal
Media Drive
Once installed, you can use the HP Personal Media
Drive the same way you use the other drives on your
computer. You can move or copy files or folders from
one drive to another. Because of the capacity of this
drive, you can save large media files such as video
clips, digital images, and hard disk drive backup files.

Using Your HP Personal Media
Drive with an HP Computer and

your HP Personal Media Drive. For more information,

Using the Security Lock
Your drive includes a security locking slot on the back
of the drive. The security locking slot is compatible
with most security locking cables, including those
offered by Kensington.
These security cables are designed to prevent
unauthorized removal of the drive by locking it to an
unmovable object.
