Mounting Discs
Mounting a disc to an available drive enables that disc to be accessed/played.
1. Open the PowerFile Desktop icon to reveal its corresponding window.
2. Double-click on the disc you wish to access.
You can also mount a disc to the MFX Finder Desktop by selecting ‘Mount on Desktop’ from the
disc’s contextual menu.

Discs automatically unmount from their drives when no activity is detected on the disc after
approximately 5 minutes.
Discs in drives also automatically unmount when:

- a disc mount command is made when all available drives are mounted. (The idle disc will
unmount in this scenario.)
