Replacing the Hard Disk Drive

Safeguarding Recorded TV programs

When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any files
or software that you created, saved, or installed on the
HP Digital Entertainment Center. Because of this, you also
lose a special code that Microsoft includes in the files of
recorded TV programs. Without the code, Media Center
cannot play TV programs previously recorded to disk or
copied to DVD or to other media.

Before Replacing the Hard Disk Drive

Replace the internal hard disk drive only if it has failed.
Do not replace the internal hard disk drive until HP
support has diagnosed it as the point of failure. HP
recommends that you upgrade the hard disk drive
capacity by using the HP Personal Media Drive.

Only advanced users should attempt to
perform this procedure.

created with the two blank DVD_R discs that came
with your HP Digital Entertainment Center.

Back up your data to the Personal Media Drive or
burn it to DVD.
