Locating the Drive When you plug the drive into a USB 2.0 connector, the operating system automatically assigns a hard disk drive letter to it. The assigned letter depends on other storage devices connected to your PC. The default volume label of this drive is HP Personal Media Drive. You can rename the drive in the My Computer window by right-clicking the drive, selecting Rename, and then typing in a new name. HP recommends renaming a drive if you have more than one HP Personal Media Drive. To locate your HP Personal Media Drive, open My Computer for a list of all of the internal and external drives. For more information on opening My Computer, refer to the Help files in your operating system or the documentation that came with your PC.
