HP M7246N Media Drive Bay Center

I have a HP M7246N Media Center Tower, when I insert a HP Personal Media Drive in the Bay, the meter turns, I do not see that the drive listed with others my computer staff media USB keys. Where you see the player. I have to do something.

I bought brand new M7246N a long time ago, he got out the box Update for the end of MS XP 08/04/14.

It of a nice PC and works very well.

I can try and push just alittle on the media player, it cannot be seated in the internal USB.

I noticed the external USB card should alittle push-to-he...

Thank you

  • Pocket Media Drive bay for e9290f

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion Elite e9290f and is surprised that, among the best models, he had no drive for the HP Pocket Media Drive Bay.  I tried to find where I can buy the Pocket media drive Bay so that I can install (retro - fit) it in my office so I could slide the pocket of 500Gb drive that I bought for inside. Currently, I use a very little available USB external port to activate the reader, as well as having to allocate precious office for the unit space. Is that what someone is selling the drive Bay?  I tried to find it in the shop online parts HP nothing is done.  Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks a lot for your answer.  My computer takes the door Assembly #503156 - ZH1 and the Assembly Pocket Media Drive bay #505092-001, and I just got their share of a corporation in California.  I'll mark my query as "resolved". now but thanks again en your interest.

  • Support of Pocket media drive Bay

    I have a Presario SR5262NX with an empty optical drive Bay, and a floppy drive Bay empty.  I also have a media player Pocket 160MO I use for backups.  I would get a Pocket Media support/adapter for the bay floppy drive so that I can put my Pocket Media drive in it and leave, rather than have it cluttering up my desk.  But I wasn't able to locate such a thing in the HP store or anywhere online.  I think that HP could sell such a thing, but maybe not.  I'm looking for something that does not exist, or just look in the wrong places?

    Call HP parts. (800) 227-8164

  • How to reconnect to a personal media drive Bay

    It was very stupid of me but I unplugged the cables for my Personal Media Drive Bay when I tried to remove the hard drive for maintenance.  I didn't really attention to where the white cable that looks like an audio connector is gone.  After his return from the hard drive, I can't find the connector of the personal media drive Bay.  If I had to install the external drive, I would use a USB port to connect the player to the computer, but I don't know where this subject is on the motherboard.  I searched the internet for help entered empty.  Help, please!

    On your motherboard, you should see a connector with 2 rows of pins together. One of the lines is missing in a hairpin bend on the left side.

  • Personal Media Drive Bay

    Can someone explain why HP abandoned the possibility of a drive Bay of personal media on their desktops? I have one on my desk, less than three years and I am totally satisfied. Were there any probems with them?

    WDS,

    IMHO the PMD has been made obsolete by the absence of need and the difference in speed.

    The PMD is a USB 2.0 and with larger internal hard drives (1 t - 3 t) and now available speeds (Sata300-600), the old need PMD became useless.

    Latest motherboards have ESata and USB3.0 external options

  • Pocket drive Bay installation media.

    We have a HP Pavillion A6710T a 32 bit with a HP Pocket Media drive Bay OS installed Windows Vista.  We decided to upgrade to a HP Pavilion HPE H8 - 1360T running on a Windows 7, 64-bit OS, the drive Bay can be transferred from the old system to the new, or will we just use the USB cable?

    Answered my own question.  After tearing apart the two computers, it seems, Bay Pocket Media Player can be moved from one system to the other.  However space is tight and would bring down the new system further than just an exchange of normal PCI card.  Much easier to just leave it alone and use the USB cable provided with the PMD.

    Hi Nacster,

    It is very possible that the previous owner disconnected the cables. Here is an document (and video) player showing how to replace or add a hard HP. In it, you will see how the Bay of the PMD is connected the hard drive cage.

    It might even be that the internal USB cable is detached from the motherboard.

    I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Personal Media Drive (HDD) is not recognized in HP xb4 Docking Station laptop with HDX 18i

    Hello:

    This is my first post since obtaining these three pieces of equipment.

    a lot of problems with my new laptop and separate hard drive docking station.

    But this one is the most annoying:

    my HP Personal Media Drive HD10000x slips into a Bay (specifically for these players) on my xb4 docking station.

    Connected to the docking station is my laptop, a HDX18.

    Everything works very well between the laptop and docking station, except the HARD drive: it lights not or anything when you slide into the dock media Bay.

    This is supposed to be 'hot-swapable' and everything, but it is just dead.    It's new, but I hate to send it back (at my expense) if there is another problem here.

    If someone has encountered this?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    You need to connect the power adapter to the personal media player - at the back of the dock XB4, next to where sits the personal media player.  So there are two adapters CA / CC plugged into the XB4.

  • Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

    Hi all!

    Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

    I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

    What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
    The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

    Can someone help me?

    I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

    Thank you!!!

    If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
    Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
    On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
    > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

    But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
    Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

  • HP Personal Media Drive 1 TB

    Since 2009, I used the HP Personal Media drive on my desktop PC HP Pavilion a6152n with no problems. I was using Vista without any problems.  My computer has 6 usb ports and they all worked like a charm.  I used media player for all my backups, smartphone and computer.  A few days ago, I've upgraded to windows 7 and were not able to use my media player since.  My computer will recognize the usb ports when forced, but lists the media as unknown device player when he admits to all.  I tried to update the driver without result.  I uninstalled the device, disabled the device, tried to assign a letter to the reader all to no success. I'm finally to the point that when I plug the drive on the computer, the computer tells me that I have to format the drive to use it.  The drive has been formatted originally under Vista.  I'm afraid that if I format it now, I'll lose all my files.  Help, please.  I point out that I took the car to work and this computer using XP recognizes the drive media and actually allowed me to open the files.  The computer at work is about 10 years old and very basic, no dvd drive, etc...  I also get code 43 when you try to update the drivers.   Thank you.

    make the number of days!

    Hello

    Thank you very much!  My computer now recognizes the PMD.  I was able to open some files, and they seem to be OK.  Once again thank you.

  • Problem with my Personal Media Drive hd1600

    Hello

    I have a problem with my HD1600 Personal Media Drive.

    After formatting, Windows 7 can not recognize it. Only the power of the blue light is on

    in the Hp website, I can not find the driver software

    Please help me

    Thank you

    As is the case, what I would do then is to format the drive outside of the Windows environment.  I like to use a Linux on CD or GParted on CD.  Unplug your hard drive after the CD and boot from the CD that you did.  With your hard drive disconnected, there is no chance of accitentally choose the wrong drive and the PC will work fine to either that of the CD.  Format the connected USB HD1600 Personal Media Drive everything using one of the version of the Linux CD in the NTFS format.  If it is completed, the disc is OK and you should be good to go.

  • HP Personal Media Drive hd0000

    I have this external HP Media Drive hd0000. The computer that belongs to has been removed because it is damaged irreparably. I have since acquired a new laptop and want to connect the HP drive to my laptop to see if there is any info that I can save her. Can I just connect it via USB or do I need a power cord as well? He got some form of funny USB port. I would like to know what kind of cable I use and how I can buy the power supply (if necessary).

    demoose,

    Here is the manual and the items in the box: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00769879.pdf
