Hi:

You need this driver for that device...

This package provides the HP 3D DriveGuard software for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. HP 3D DriveGuard protects the hard drive by "parking the heads" if the notebook is accidentally dropped or is abruptly impacted by another object.

You're very welcome, @Tjpost1980

I received two e-mail notifications of a reply to this post from you stating that the link I posted is broken.

I have no idea why your posts aren't showing up.

I checked the link and it works just fine for me.

In any event, you can also use the older W7 ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection driver found under the Security driver section on your notebook's support page, and that should also work just fine.
