If you disconnect the drive while live TV is active, a video error can occur. Recorded TV programs are not updated in Windows Media Center when the drive is removed. The drive might be assigned a different drive letter, which prevents Windows Media Center from recognizing the recording path or the stored recorded TV files. When you set the TV recording path to the HP Media Drive, Windows Media Center stores the recording buffer data for pausing live TV on the drive. This means that if live TV is playing, you won't be able to remove the drive safely. To avoid this scenario, change the recording path back to your local hard disk drive, and then restart the computer before disconnecting the HP Media Drive.
