How to Install and Mount

Insert the USB drive in one of three USB ports on the side of the display of the laptop. The SD card inserts into a slot under the display.

Accessing the USB Drive

Go to the Journal view, which you can access from the Home View. Select the notebook icon just below the XO character to open the Journal.

The USB icon Usbkey.png appears in the lower left corner of the display.

Saving a file from the Journal to the USB Drive

To save a file from the Journal to the USB drive, move the curser over the Journal item and drag it to the USB icon.

Moving a file from the USB Drive to the Journal

To retrieve a file from the USB drive, first click on the USB icon itself (rather than the number or text above the word "Unmount"), drag the item from the USB drive to the journal icon.

For the Advanced User

The USB drive's filesystem is automatically mounted under /media.
