Para o &kde; usar qualquer dispositivo, seja ele removível ou não, este terá de ser montado em primeiro lugar. Quando for montado um dispositivo, o &kde; irá obter toda a informação necessária acerca dele: como lê-lo, como gravar informações sobre ele, entre outras coisas.

Now that we have an understanding of what mounting is let's see how to mount a device. The use of 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). Your distribution should have set up HAL automatically; if not, consult the documentation provided by your distribution.

Existem várias formas de obter a lista de dispositivos multimédia: use a que lhe funcionar melhor:

- Indique `media:/` ou `system:/media` na barra de localização do &konqueror;.

- Navigate to it by clicking on the Services tab in &konqueror;'s Navigation Panel, them selecting Storage Media.

- Seleccione a opção Ir Dispositivos do menu do &konqueror;.

- Carregue no ícone do ecrã Sistema; depois, na janela que aparece, carregue em Dispositivos de Armazenamento.

O local dos Dispositivos de Armazenamento (também conhecido pelo protocolo media:/), irá mostrar todos os dispositivos que são reconhecidos pelo &kde;, incluindo o disco e as unidades de &CD; e DVD, assim como os dispositivos USB e Firewire, desde que a sua distribuição esteja configurada correctamente para notificar o &kde; dos mesmos.

You can also setup &kde; to display a device icon on the desktop. To start or configure this feature in the control panel go to Desktop Behavior and select the Device Icon Tab. The device icon action can be used to show both mounted and unmounted devices, or to only create an icon when media is detected and automounted (only if automount is properly configured), by not checking the unmounted boxes.

## Montagem automática

With &kde; 3.5 and newer, devices can be automount, meaning one only has to insert the removation disk. &kde; will open an automount prompt asking the user "What do you want to do? with the media. To configure the list of options prompted for devices open &kcontrol; and navigate to Peripherals Storage Media Here you can add and remove programs from the list of devices.

The automount feature will only work if dbus, hal and udev are installed and the kernel is properly configured. To find out if they are running on your system check the Process Table in &ksysguard; for: `hald`, `dbus-deamon`, and `udevd`. &kde; does not provide any of these components. You must cheek with you distribution.

## Montagem

If your system does not automount &kde; is configured to mount and unmount device which the current user have permission to mount. If a device is mounted as the root partition (&ie; `/`), and you login to &kde; as a user, &kde; can not mount or unmount it without being given a higher permission. To cheek a devices mount permission see the `/etc/fstab` file.

To mount and unmount devices manually in &kde; one only has to &RMB; click the device icon in media:/ or on the desktop and select Mount or Unmount, for removable devices one can also unmount with Remove device safety. &kde; still requires the device to be setup in /etc/fstab.
