<a id="mounting-volumes" name="mounting-volumes">Mounting Volumes</a></h2>
|

<p>In order to access a harddisk, CD, USB stick etc., you first have to mount the volume, that is, let the system know it's there. This is done with a right-click on the Desktop or an already mounted volume (like the boot disk) and choosing the volume from the <span class="menu">Mount</span> submenu. You find the same <span class="menu">Mount</span> menu in the Deskbar.</p>

||||
<img src="images/tracker-images/mount-settings.png" alt="drill-down.png" />

<p>There are also <span class="menu">Mount Settings</span> so you don't have to mount everything manually after every bootup.<br />

<p>There are also <span class="menu">Settings</span> so you don't have to mount everything manually after every bootup.<br />
|
||||
The above settings will automatically mount any storage device you connect/insert and also mount all disks on bootup that were mounted previously.</p>
|
||||
<div class="box-warning">Before you disconnect e.g. a harddrive or USB stick, make sure you have successfully unmounted the volume. This guarantees that all data transfer has finished. Otherwise you may lose data or corrupt the disk!</div>

<li><p><b>Resize Window</b> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">Y</span>) - Resizes the window to its ideal size.</p></li>

<p>Sometimes you just want to rearrange a few icons without doing a complete <span class="menu">Clean Up</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">K</span>). In that case, you select these icons and start to drag them to their new location. Before you drop them there, keep <span class="key">ALT</span> pressed. This will align the icons to the invisible grid.</p>
