Right now, our media folder contains links to the hard drive, which Ubuntu has assigned a terribly uninformative label, and the PLoP Boot Manager CD that is currently in the CD-ROM drive.Īn external USB hard drive gives you the advantage of portability, and is still large enough to store an entire hard disk dump, if need be. To see a list of currently mounted storage devices, navigate to /media by clicking on File System in a File Browser window, and then double-clicking on the media folder. Once a hard drive, or other external storage device, is mounted, it will show up in the /media directory.

You can now move files to this hard drive by drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, both of which are done the same way they’re done in Windows. Clicking on the appropriate hard drive mounts it, and opens it in a file browser.
