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.

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!!!

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?

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.

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?

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.

HP PD5000x Pocket Media Drive locks up my computer

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3330.nl computer with an Irvine-GL6E motherboard, version 5.23 and a HP PD5000x Pocket Media Drive. The drive works perfect when it is connected with a USB cable. When I put drive in the appropiate drive bay, the computer won't get into the BIOS when I start it. I know this is a known issue and that the solution should be to upgrade to the most recent BIOS.
A while ago, I upgraded the BIOS to version 5.23 and from then, the computer started with a blue HP logo screen and the media drive worked correctly when it was placed into the drive bay. A few months later, my motherboard broke and was replaced. When it came back from Repairs, it had the same version number of the BIOS, but it had no longer the blue HP logo screen anymore when I started it AND the issue with the media drive was back. The BIOS now starts with the old fashioned DOS startup commands and a black screen. Again, it has still the same version number, 5.23.
I downloaded again the latest BIOS, sp43069.exe for Vista, went back to Vista and let the computer shop where I bought the computer install that one and override the existing BIOS. It didn't help.
Now, my question is: I am looking for the Irvine-GL6E motherboard BIOS, version 5.23 with the blue HP logo screen. If I would put that back, my problem with the media drive would be solved, which has been proven in the past, because that is the correct version.
Is there somebody who could help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
Hugh

Hey HughZ,
I'm sorry you're running into this BIOS issue.
If I understand correctly, you've currently got a previous BIOS version loaded by the computer shop. Is that correct?
If so,
1. Download and install BIOS version 5.23. You may already know but, it will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and get back to the Windows login screen or desktop.
2. Then go to Start and Shutdown. Boot into the BIOS by tapping F10 repeatedly at power on.
3. Once you're in BIOS press F5 to Set the BIOS to Default Settings. You won't get a message or any feedback but just press F9 once and then press F10 to Save and Exit. Yes to confirm and Windows should load normally.
4. Once Windows has loaded, Shutdown again and test the power on sequence to see if your issue remains.
If it does, you can also go into BIOS and arrow over to Boot. Change Boot-time Diagnostic Screen to Enabled if it is Disabled. Also, let me know what the other tabs' (Advanced, Power and other settings in Boot) settings are set to. You can take pictures and post them with your reply, if you'd like. Let me know the results when you get a chance

HP Huddled Personal Media Drive e-mail support - Service Ticket #8040309516

I am completely dissatisfied with HP Customer Support regarding this problem (8040309516). It was formally opened on 07/02/2010 - over a month ago - and HP Customer Support has: 1) misdirected me on resolution (sent me the user guide instead of the driver for $10); 2) Been unresponsive to the issues via reps; and 3) most of all, not responded to my weekly emails requesting update and support, but only relay the same message that "the problem has been escalated to a support expert and that they appreciate my patients". I've even asked to escalate the problem to management with no other response than the one I relayed here.
How long does it take HP to resolve reinstalling a driver (HP PMD drive) and the backup application (HP SureStore)? They are your products. I can't use the storage device to back up my system, so I'm exposed. Do you support your products in a timely manner or not?

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

Can itunes run from a personal cloud drive, can itunes run from a personal cloud drive

can itunes run from a personal cloud drive? I currently have my Itunes media files stored on an external drive because it is over 1.5GB with movies. Does anyone have experience with a WD My Book Live wireles cloud storage device? I would love to not to have to always be in the same room as my storage device
Thanks

It will work if it's used as a network drive which contains your iTunes library in the same way your external does now. Although it will demand more from your network than your current configuration does but shouldn't be a problem if your network is working correctly.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

Ricoh Media driver 2.10.00.04 no longer works on 5-1 memory card reader. Re-installed Ricoh Media Driver 2.10.00.04 from HP Support Center HP Elitebook 8730w Mobile Workstation software download page. No change. Card reader does not function.

What version of iPhoto do you have? With Yosemite you must be running iPhoto 9.6.1 which is a available from the App Store. If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll have to download and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.1. It'll be located in the Applications/Utilities folder after downloading.
Now for your system:
Startup Items: ℹ️
    ChmodBPF: Path: /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF
    Startup items are obsolete in OS X Yosemite
Either remove this or update it so it's compatible with Yosemite.
Get rid of the antivirus software as rkaufmann87 mentioned. It's not needed.

Don't know what this is for. There was no info on Google about it so remove it.
Currently you're not having any memory problems since your Page-outs are essentially non existent. You can check it as you work with Activity Monitor.
Virtual Memory Information: ℹ️

    24 MB    Page-outs
As long as the memory pressure is in the green and constant and you're not seeing a lot of SWODs you shouldn't be concerned about the memory. Of course increasing memory will nearly always improve general system and application performance. But you didn't mention slowness as part of your problem.

How do I recover files from my HP Pocket Media Drive?

My HP Pavilion g6 computer's hard drive crashed a couple weeks ago and as it was crashing, a pop-up showed up to tell me to back up all of my data. I hooked up my pocket media drive and waited until I read a message saying "files successfully backed up", or something similar to that. I then sent my computer to an HP technical support center for them to fix it up. When I got my computer back, I hooked up my pocket media drive and tried to restore my files. I have been unsuccessful with this and need help. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

How do I configure AirportExtreme or TimeCapsule to use UPnP or connect an iOmega Media Drive, Could Edition?

I recently purchased an iOmega Home Media Drvie, Cloud Edition, which claims functionality with the MacOS--and shared foldersdo appear on desktops connected the home network (wirelessly or otherwise)—however this puprose of this "Cloud Edition" is to be able to share files/the drive over the internet and I cannot seem to configure the Apple AirPort TimeCapsule to allow this (other routhers are configured automatically by the drive).
The documentation says "you’ll need to turn on Remote Access and enable UPnP on your router" and
The Home Media Drive tests for an active internet connection. If this test fails, check your network configuration.
The Home Media Drive will identify your WAN IP address. The WAN IP address is the extrnal address of your router or internet gateway and is the address your Home Media Drive will be identified by on the internet. If this test fails you will need to double check the network configuration of your Home Media Drive and your Router.
The Home Media Drive will test to make sure UPnP port forwarding is operating correctly. If this test fails, you will need to manually port forward your router.
Once the testing is complete, The device will be available on the internet via its WAN IP address, i.e. https://168.254.13.68. See the WAN IP Field for the exact address.
I can't figure out out how to do this, and I am not a networking dummy. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

If you have the Airport Extreme or TimeCapsule connected to another router from your ISP it can cause a double NAT situation. You'd have to first port forward the primary router (from your ISP) to the secondary router using the same 50500 port that you are using to port forward the AirPort Extreme to the Iomega drive. You want to be sure that you only have one router with DHCP and NAT enabled. So the simplest solution is to turn the AirPort Extreme or TimeCapsule to a bridge. Then restart all devices. I reset the iOmega media drive after switching to bridge mode on the AirPort Extreme and the cloud was enabled and finally configured properly. You can reset without loosing your data... but you will have to reconfigure all users including administrators. Same with remote access. Hope this helps.
