• 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.

• HP Personal Media Drive: Restore the HP Personal Media Drive on PC content with 8.1?

  Hi, I have a Presario desktop computer that was originally Vista but upgraded to Windows 7.  He apparently died, but the contents were backed up on a disk HP Personal Media, model hd1600s.  I want to restore some of the content saved for a new cell phone ENVY with 8.1 but I learned that the media player is not compatible with 8.1.  Is it possible to restore files or otherwise draw from the media player so I can restore/load them on the URGE despite the incompatibility?

  Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

  8.1 win should recognize the external media player and allow reading and writing the data to disk on the fly.  What happens when you tried?

• 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.

• HP Personal Media Drive - cannot get support

  Hello

  I tried to look for a "soft" or etc. but has not found category. I hope that I write to the rgiht category.

  I have a HP Personal Media Drive that I am attemptign to solve problems

  hd0000

  part # rf863aa

  500 GB capacity

  The problem I have is when I connect the drive to the system, it says device not recognized USB. However, he keeps making connection/disconnection noise notise. Bing bing, do. Bing bing, do. He did this continuously until I have unplug the USB cord or power.

  I tried the following

  I have tried 3 different PCs

  I have tried 2 different cables

  tried it on windows 7 as well as windows 8

  I feel that it is a real problem with the drive itself. I tried disk management, but I know that because this prevents the disconnect/reconnect the disk and not can not connect successfully, it seems like there may be a problem of internal material with the reader.

  My major problem is to get to this issue. Today I have the support of google # and looking for where to get help. I found this page

  https://h22207.www2.HP.com/ca-en/contact-HP/product/HP-HD5000s-personal-media-drive/model/RF863AA#Z7...

  Does not help very much

  I called this number

  1-800-474-6836 (1-800 HP INVENT)

  I now at calle 4 times. I get a call centre in India. They tell me that I need to talk to the accessories Department.

  I had transferred there and waited 20 minutes and hung up. So I called again. Once again, they me transferred.

  I tried 35 + minutes, had somone on the phone. After spending 15 minutes to get all the part numbers, etc serial numbers - it was obvious that they then had no idea what to do, they still have me once I was in the bad service I was calling not to the United States and Canada.

  They me transferred again and I was transferred to a number of key busy/false.

  I called back once again, even once said that I needed to be transferred... not too impressed at this point.

  Nobody has been able to give me the # direct I should call either. I'm really frusterated. Help, please?

  This device has an external power supply, I would first of all that. Resist the ear and check the that continuous rotation.

  If it's running, plug the USB to a rear port. It may take 5 minutes to initialize. If you hear click (s) and then no rotation continues, it's probably in bricks/dead.  HP offers no repair service out-of-warranty units. (1 year).

  Disassembly (different flavors for different design cases). Adapter for the device.

  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.

• 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.

  Hello Lewie,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  1. What is brand and model your computer?
  2. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

  I understand that you lose your screen when you play a game. This happens usually if the installed graphics driver has corrupted or unstable. Therefore, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1: Run the tool material and devices

  Try running the next fixit and check whether the problem is resolved.

  Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

  2. in the list of hardware categories, find the display adapters and select the device driver you want to update, and then double-click the device name.

  3. Click tab driver , click Update driver, and then follow the instructions. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• HP Personal Media Drive and Win 7

  I just upgraded my HP computer elite e9120y from vista to windows 7. Everything went well until I tried to use the personal media player in the Bay of the computer.  The computer recognizes the drive and installed the driver.  The player will start to work, but after about 30 seconds, it freezes.  The power light is still on, but it is no longer read or write data. Using the computer increases by about 10% to 70% and stays there. After the hunt, the use is the same, in the Task Manager, nothing is shown that the use of the CPU.  Before the upgrade, the drive worked fine with any of these problems.  I tried to uninstall the USB ports and restart to have reinstalled them, also tried to remove the drive from the computer and reinstall the readers. I still have the same problem.  It will work for awhile, then freezing, uses CPU jumps.          If I try the drive with the external power supply and another USB port, it works normally. Can anyone help?   Thank you

  If you use the software that came with the driver (it might come through via the upgrade?), try to uninstall or disable and simply let Windows 7 use as Plug-and-Play. If I look at HP shopping it does not list the PMD as being compatible with Windows 7, but to me it would just be the software on the CD-ROM supplied with the player. Not the plug-and-play hardware.

  If it's not that, and it's hardware related... the Bay is a big USB plug that connects to the USB headers on the mobo. For me, it tells me that something funky is listed at this place of specific header. Normally, I'd just use system restore to go back when it worked good... in this case, which might be ways to recover and upgrade again without any USB device attached... not funny.

  You can try to disconnect the internal cable from the drive to the mobo Bay, restart, connect with the external cable, safely remove, close, reconnect the internal cable to the mobo header, insert the drive into the Bay, turning on.

• Strange problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

  I am facing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which has been pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.

  I had already done a clean install of Vista on it, and then I decided to go back to XP with my recovery DVDs. I did the same procedures of first installation Express Media Player to backup (that I did when I bought the laptop) and then installing Windows XP DVD de Toshiba Recovery XP.

  The steps included:
  1 deleted recovery Express media player disk partitions
  2. installed express media player
  3 extracted Xp Recovery DVD, by selecting 'Recover without changing the Partitions' (there is no expert mode)

  Everything was fine (i.e. installation)... But now, after the turning off my laptop I press the Express Media Center button, the logo "Express Media Player" appears on the screen after loading of closures of laptop for 5 seconds.

  I tried to open it again and again, but the logo is displayed for 5 seconds and then my laptop stop...

  Laptop works fine when I connect to windows by pressing the power button / stop.

  Can someone help me on this strange question... ?

  Hello

  The whole story is a bit confusing
  First of all, I would like to know if your laptop is already preinstalled with the Media Express Player and if you were able to use it on your laptop in the past.

  Now something about the Express Media Player installation;
  In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.

  In addition, on the HARD drive should at least 150-200 MB of free space available.
  This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated. To get these free space on party products 3rd HARD drive should be used as Partitions Magic 8.

  I m not 100% sure that on error ID system badly but maybe it corresponds to the DMI evil information stored on the motherboard. If we're not DMI, you will not be able to reinstall Express Media player using the recovery media express CD.
  In the DMI must be set properly the manufacturing: Toshiba, product name: for example by Satellite M115-S30

  Finally and most importantly, I found this thread useful forum on the Media Express recovery procedure:

• 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
