HP Personal Media Drive hd0000 Not Loading

Hi can anyone please help
I have a HP Personal Media Center M7000 PC on windows XP.
It comes with a Personal Media Drive HD0000.
I have always kept the media drive in its internal docking station within the PC as it can be removed by sliding the cassette in and out of the body of the PC.
I recently had start up issues with my PC where it was failing to boot. After removing the the media drive the pc is back in working order without any problems but ever since the media drive is failing to load.
I have tried to load it in its docking station and via USB with this PC and i have also tried to load it via USB with a laptop i have on windows  7. 
The media drive has some very personal items on it so can anyone please help me thank you in advance
UPDATE i have tried to connect the drive to my laptop on windows 7 and it does not load but it is now showing up instead of showing up under the computer section it shows up under control panel/ hardware and sound/ printer and devices. But it still will not load ARRRRGHHH any advice please thank you 

One should be able to see the files on the HP Personal Media drive, if it still works.  With the drive out of the bay, it requires a USB cable and a power connection.  Examine the back of the drive.  You will see a power connection right next to the USB connector.  HERE is some info on the adapter but it does not have to be that one exactly.  Any 12vDC 1 to 2 Amp supply that fits the jack should be able to power it.
BTW: if the drive was causing problems in the drive pocket on the WinXP PC, it could have a problem.

  • Why No Support For HP hd7500s Personal Media Drive?

    I have a Personal Media Drive hd7500s (750 gb), installed in the equipment bay,  that my HP Pavillion has stopped recognizing.  There is power to the drive as indicated by the lights on the front.  General Troubleshooting info at this site suggests I attempt to hook it up as an external drive, using the USB connection.  Before I can, however, the USB port on the back of the personal media drive appears to have a plastic protective cap on the USB contacts; but I am wary of using any more plier force than I've already applied to remove this unsuccessfully.  So I went to this site looking for tech data on my drive.
    No matter how many different ways I enter the SKU, the model number, even the serial number of this HP Personal Media Drive, the search returns nothing.  What gives??

    Apparently HP does not offer support for this device. Seems pretty bad as I purchased mine about a year ago and if I had known HP was not going to support it I would not have purchased it....SUPRISE, I guess that is why they did not tell me!!!

  • Sidetrack driver does not load

    Hi,
    I've installed the latest version of sidetrack. but when i open sidetrack a message window pops up saying:
    'The SideTrack driver is not loaded.
    Please restart your computer to load the driver.'
    I have done exactly as the readme file says.
    When i got my mac i did a custom install so i did'nt fill up my hard drive with language packs etc. i do not need. do i need to install something else that would otherwise be in osx for this to work?

    I have tried restarting several times aswell as uninstalling, reinstalling and downloading the program again.
    When i right click the sidetrack app. in the startup folder and select get info it says that the application is a unix executible file.
    I can only find one other person on the forum with this problem but it was not answered.
    Thank you

  • How to install Personal Media Drive (hd5000s) in computer running Windows 8

    I would like to use my old Personal Media Drive (hd5000s) with my new computer that runs Windows 8.  The computer does not recognize the drive.  I need a download or driver to use the drive.

    Have the same problem, several HP personal media drives from dead HP Vista PC's & want to access on new Windows 8 PC's.  Can't believe more people not facing same problem.  Would a generic W8 driver work?

  • Personal media drive locks xp

    the personal drive is put in the bay and is picked up by my computer,then xp locks up until PMD is removed. have not been able to use the PMD. HELPLEASE. 

    A operating system freezing when a device is connected and the same operating system working without issue as long as the device is not conected indicates that there is a problem with the device.
    Your personal media drive appears to have a problem.
    It would help if you identified your HP desktop PC with its  complete product name and product number. Look on the PC for a service tag. The service tag will have that information. post it here.
    Best regards,

  • Personal Media Drive won't work when inside Elite Desktop

    I have a 4 month old 1 TB  Pesonal Media Drive installed inside my  Elite Series Desktop.
    I was flagged by my Acronis backup saying there were bad sectors and it would not allow incremental automatic backups.
    I ran  Hardware Diagnostic test..and it reported surface scan errors on the new Personal Media Drive.
    I removed it from the Elite series bay, and connected it like a normal external hard drive via USB connections.
    I ran the same test and it passed. It reported no problems whatsoever...so I am wondering why it only fails when inside the internal bay?

    Adobe CC 2014 v8.1
    iMac 27"  3.4GHz w/12GB Ram.
    OS 10.9.5
    OWC Mercutry ELite Pro Dual.
    RAID 0
    Thunderbolt.
    No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
    The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
    I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
    https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
    After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
    So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
    Partition2 is the brand new partition.
    Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
    And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
    But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
    I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
    But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.

  • HP Personal Media Drive - need to check for drivers but can't find Win8 drivers

    Tried to access drivers for Personal Media Drive but the Win 8 OS is not listed. How do I find if there are new drivers for my HD10000z?

    As this device does have an external power supply, I would first attach that. Hold up to ear, and verify it spins continuous.
    If it spins, plug in the USB to a rear port. It may take 5 minutes for it to initialize. If you hear  click(s) and then no continuous spin, it's likely bricked/dead.  HP offers no repair service for out-of-warranty units. (1 year).
    disassembly (different flavors for different design cases). Adapter for the device.

  • SoundMax audio driver did not load after returning from StandBy.

    After my computer returns from StandBy, it shows me this message. "The SoundMax audio driver did not load. You may need to reinstall SoundMAX". I have downloaded and installed the latest driver that was supposed to fix this issue on Windows XP T61. Is there another solution?

    Hi,
    I wanted to confirm, that this issue occurs also to me, and started happening recently. Also the driver sometimes does not start when simply booting clean (not returning from StandBy). I'm not sure,  but I think this started happening after some driver update (I do upgrade my drivers when lenovo updates them hoping they'll fix some of the annoying glitches, but this is what I usually get...).
    My machine is: lenovo t61 7664-19G
    And I also have: windows XP
    If someone more tech-able would like to investigate this, I would be happy to supply all the details.

  • Azure Media Encoder could not load the preset Preset.xml

    Hi, have a question about Processing Job on azure, when i processing video on localhost the porcessing is working fine,but when i create windows services and install on server it show's up this error
    Error Code:ErrorProcessingTask , Error Message:Azure Media Encoder could not load the preset Preset.xml on source 
    282f62b9-ef50-4ef8-a8d7-f86ebd2819ff.wmv:File type isn't supported.
    Can someone help me to find solution for this error.
    i appriciate your's help. 

    Media Services defines a set of encoding presets you can use when creating encoding jobs.
    You can either use one of the task preset strings defined
    here.
    Here are examples that show you how to use the preset strings.
    Or, you can create your own XML-based presets (using UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding) that are based on pre-defined presets. You
     can find topics that contain XML-based presets under
    this node. Or, you can get the XML preset files from
    here.
    Once you are ready to load the custom preset, you can use the following .NET SDK code.
    static public IAsset EncodeToAdaptiveBitrateMP4Set(IAsset inputAsset)
    var encodingPreset = "H264 Adaptive Bitrate MP4 Set 720p";
    IJob job = _context.Jobs.Create(String.Format("Encoding WMV {0} to {1}",
    inputAsset.Name,
    encodingPreset));
    var mediaProcessors =
    _context.MediaProcessors.Where(p => p.Name.Contains("Media Encoder")).ToList();
    var latestMediaProcessor =
    mediaProcessors.OrderBy(mp => new Version(mp.Version)).LastOrDefault();
    string configuration = File.ReadAllText("H264 Adaptive Bitrate MP4 Set 720p.xml");
    ITask encodeTask = job.Tasks.AddNew("Encoding", latestMediaProcessor, configuration, TaskOptions.None);
    encodeTask.InputAssets.Add(inputAsset);
    encodeTask.OutputAssets.AddNew(String.Format("{0} as {1}", inputAsset.Name, encodingPreset), AssetCreationOptions.None);
    job.StateChanged += new EventHandler<JobStateChangedEventArgs>(JobStateChanged);
    job.Submit();
    job.GetExecutionProgressTask(CancellationToken.None).Wait();
    return job.OutputMediaAssets[0];
    Please let us know if using one of the preset strings or the custom preset XMLs is not working for you.
    thank you,

  • Pioneer DVD -RW drive will not load CD/DVD media iMac Yosemite

    I have a 20-inch, Early 2009 iMac that was recently updated with a SSD Drive and I ran all the installation media that cam with it originally.
    I did update to the latest and greatest Mac OS Yosemite to recently discover that the Pioneer drive (see details below) will not load disks. Any disks. It makes that loading noise and it seems to struggle until it spits it out again.
    I am pretty sure it worked since I have loaded Software from the Installation DVDs but I cannot confirm the if the problem started since Yosemite update. There may be a separate contributing factor, he is 2 year old and since he has seen Music CDs loaded there previously he was showing interest in poking thinks in the slot.
    How can I identify the real problem? Is the drive faulty or is it some incompatibility with the system?

  • CS4 media encoder will not load

    I started having this problem on Saturday.
    To begin with media encoder was not encoding properly, certain transitions were freezing in the final output.
    Then it ceased to load altogether. I have rebooted, re-installed, gone back to a previous restore point (this crashed everything) and spent the best part of yesterday and today fixing it to the point where I am back to square one, despite a complete re-install.
    When I load up media encoder either from premiere or standalone, it gets to the end of the splash screen and then comes up with this message "Adobe Media Encoder CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I am at my wits end as I need to be able to encode my current project desperately.
    S'funny because I tried installing it on my laptop, which has a lot less memory and a slower processor than this machine, and it worked. Only trouble is that machine has not the power to run premiere so I am still stuck
    I am attaching the log file it wants to send each time it crashes incase that means anything.

    Your text file is still queued, so I can't see it, but even then it would be doubtful it would be any help to solve your problem. The not loading message is most likely caused by another process running in the background, an incompatible codec in your material and/or project or a driver issue. You need to be far more specific with lots of extra details if you want our help. Look in the WIKI under troubleshooting and try all the suggested steps. If that does not help, answer the 16 questions at the bottom to start with.

  • 64-bit driver does not load at boot

    Hi.
    After recompiling a scsi target driver for 64 bits, it does not load automatically at boot time as it does if booting 32-bit kernel.
    The 64-bit module is copied to /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9. the <driver>.conf file is in /usr/kernel/drv. Using add_drv is fine, it attaches and loads the driver (the driver works also).
    It also loads using modload manually after boot or calling it from /etc/rc3 or so.
    what else is required on 64-bit kernel to get the autoload?
    Thanks,
    Luis.
