[kde-doc-english] Removable Devices

[Edward Haven]

This is the first part of the removable devices section, which i plan to
divide in to a number of subsection, how exactly i do know.

Removable Disks
For KDE to read any disk, removable or not, the disk must first be mount.
When a device is mount it can then be read, it gives KDE all the needed
information about the device, how to read it, how to write information to
it, and much more.
Now that we have an understanding of what mounting is lets see how to mount
a device.  First know defining a device is controlled by the operating
system and it is important your operating system has tools for managing
these devices. KDE can also auto mount devices, working with HAL (Hardware
Abstraction Layer).
The Easiest way to find the media device is enter the protocol media:/ or
system:/media in to the konqueror location bar or navigate to it by:
1.clicking on the system tab in the meta bar, followed by selecting Storage
Media.
2.Go -> Media
3.clicking the system desktop icon, then Storage Media.
4.expanding the System menu on the KDE panel, and selecting Storage Media.
The media:/ protocol will show all device which are recognized by the KDE,
including the hard drive and CD and DVD drives, if setup correctly USB and
Firewire device.
