Accessing/playing discs (host or client)

To access/play a disc from the Changer, the disc must be mounted into one of the Changer drives.

Mounting discs from the host PC

To mount a disc into a Changer drive from the host PC desktop, navigate to the appropriate Changer folder to view a list of the discs in that Changer. Right-click on the desired disc, choose Mount from the submenu, then select an available drive to mount the disc into. For PowerFile Changers with one drive (C200S and R200) the drive will be listed as Drive 1, for dual drive models (C200 Studio) you will see Drive 1 and Drive 2. If a disc is already in a drive, the name of the mounted disc is listed next to the drive, and the listing is grayed out, indicating that the drive is not available to identify a disc at this time.

When discs are mounted into an available drive, the disc icon changes to indicate that a disc is now mounted in that drive.

Mounting discs from a client PC

The procedure for mounting a disc from a client PC is the same as from the host, except that the user must go to Network Neighborhood, locate the host system that the desired Changer is connected to, and navigate to the disc to be accessed. Once there, mounting the disc into an available drive is the same process as for mounting discs from the host (refer to the previous section, “Mounting discs from the host PC”).
