<chapter id="ch-Media">
  <title>Using Media</title>
  <para>
    This chapter covers how to use media such as hard drives, DVDs, CDs,
    and flash drives in Fedora. When these media are mounted, they are
    called <emphasis>volumes</emphasis>.
  </para>
  <section id="sn-understanding-media">
    <title>Understanding</title>

    <para>
      When you insert media into your computer, Fedora automatically
      detects the volume. An icon is placed both on your desktop and in
      the <emphasis>Places</emphasis> menu.
    </para>

    <warning>
      <title>System hard disk is already mounted</title>

      <para>
        The hard disk drive that Fedora is installed on is mounted
        during system boot and cannot be removed or ejected the way
        other media can. Access this drive through the
        <emphasis>Computer</emphasis> icon on the desktop or through
        <emphasis>Places > Computer</emphasis>.
      </para>
    </warning>

    <para>
      When you are finished using your media, alert Fedora that you
      would like to remove this volume. To do this, right-click on the
      device's icon and then select <emphasis>Unmount Volume</emphasis>
      or <emphasis>Eject</emphasis>, depending on what type of media you
      are using.
    </para>

  <section id="sn-exploring-media">
    <title>Exploring Media</title>

    <para>
      To view the contents of a volume, double-click on the icon on the
      desktop, or choose the volume name from the
      <emphasis>Places</emphasis> menu.
    </para>

    <para>
      All of the contents of your volume are displayed in the window.
    </para>

  <section id="sn-writing-media">
    <title>Writing CDs or DVDs</title>

    <para>
      Fedora includes support for writing to CDs and DVDs. To write to a
      CD or DVD:

        <para>
          Open a <emphasis role='strong'>Nautilus</emphasis> window,
          such as <emphasis>Home</emphasis> or
          <emphasis>Computer</emphasis>.
          <emphasis role='strong'>Nautilus</emphasis> is the graphical
          file manager.

    <title>Using a USB Drive</title>

    <para>
      When you plug in a USB drive, Fedora automatically detects this
      and puts an icon on your desktop. You may then use your USB drive
      as you would any other volume.
