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

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

Copying a file from the Journal to the USB Drive

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

Copying a file from the USB Drive to the Journal

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

Removing the USB Drive

To remove the USB drive, mouse over the USB icon itself and click on the word "Unmount". When the USB icon disappears, it is safe to remove the USB drive.

For the Advanced User

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