Appendix: Replacing the Hard Drive Important Information About Recorded TV Programs When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any files or software that you created, saved, or installed on the HP Digital Entertainment Center. Because of this, you also lose a special code that Microsoft includes in the files of recorded TV programs. Without the code, Media Center cannot play TV programs previously recorded to disk or copied to DVD or to other media. For more information about safeguarding your recorded TV programs, refer to the Media Center Edition 2005 Software Guide. Procedure To replace the hard drive: 1 Make sure you have the recovery discs (DVDs) included with the HP Digital Entertainment Center System. 2 Back up your data to the personal media drive or burn it to DVD. 3 Close Media Center and all other programs that may be accessing the hard drive. 4 Turn off the HP Digital Entertainment Center. 5 Disconnect the power cable from the HP Digital Entertainment Center. 6 Disconnect all other cables from the HP Digital Entertainment Center. 7 Turn the HP Digital Entertainment Center upside down. 8 Remove the hard drive cover from the chassis.
