I have a HP media center pc and recently bought a hp personal media drive (500 gb). I can't seem to install the software. I am not clear if the software comes seperately or is contained in the drive. I follow the instructions but when I open the PMD folder, there is no HPDI.exe file.

You can try a 3rd party data recovery software to recover your data off the media drive.I have succeed to recover data from external hard drive with Tenorshare data recovery.It can recover data after deeply scanning your portable drive to look for lost data due to drives crash, physical damage,system sabotage, virus corrupted partitions etc.Download it and scan your media drive for free to preview whether your data can be recovered. http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/datarecoveryprofessional.htm

Not sure what you mean by personal media player.

1) If its an Ipod or any MP3 player, you should be able to connect any via a USB cable, or directly plugged in.

2) if you mean CD or DVD drive/player like the one that came with it, they're generic, any with the correct interface (IDE or SATA) Though I think SATA in this case.

Here's a URL with the full specification of your system to help:-

If you mean the "personal media bay" listed here, I think were back to a generice CD/DVD drive.

Download the Kmedia player here:

It will play almost all media formats including DVD, and it's free.
If this is of assistance, please take a second to write a testimonial.
Thanks.

Hi...

If you want to connect your Personal Media Drive you need to use a USB cable that have 2.5 size

If your computer did not come with a second hard drive, you can install a second hard drive that you attach to the bottom of the inside of the computer tower.

Depending on the internal video card, you have to install the correct driver for your monitor, and video card, other than that is just setting on control panel and advance setting , all the features, for the colors, or profiles.
