10 HP Personal Media Drive User’s Guide
Playing Games
CD-ROM games typically run faster when they are
installed on a hard disk drive than when they run on a
CD. You can use your HP Personal Media Drive to
store and play CD-ROM games.
Using Your HP Personal Media
Drive with a HP Media Center PC
Some versions of the HP Media Center PCs have a
dedicated drive bay for your HP Personal Media
Drive. For more information, refer to the user
guide that came with your HP Media Center PC. For
information on using your HP Personal Media Drive
with an older version of HP Media Center PC, go to
http://www.hp.com/support
and enter the model
number of your HP Media Center PC or HP Personal
Media Drive.
Using the Security Lock
Your drive includes a security locking slot on the back
of the drive. The security locking slot is compatible
with most security locking cables, including those
offered by Kensington.
These security cables are designed to prevent
unauthorized removal of the drive by locking it to an
unmovable object.

cables, you can go to:
