Mounting a volume makes its contents available to the operating
system. To mount a volume, choose the Mount command in the
desktop context menu. This pops open a menu of volumes that are
currently mounted or that are available to be mounted.
Volumes that are already mounted are checked. The volume that you're
booted into is disabled (light gray) to show that it can't be unmounted.
To mount an unmounted volume, simply select the disk in the Mount
menu.
When you mount a disk, a disk icon is placed on the desktop. To
mount all disks, select Mount All. The Settings...
command brings up a panel that lets you fine-tune the process by
which disks are automatically mounted.

As implied by the illustration, Zeta can mount volumes that contain
files from other operating systems. The "Windows" disk,
for example, contains files for Windows (presumably). You can view
files from other file systems (depending on their type), but you
won't be able to run applications that are designed for some other
OS.
To unmount a mounted volume, pop open the context menu for the disk
icon as it lies on the desktop and select Unmount.
You can also unmount a volume by repeating the process you went
through to mount it: Pop open the desktop context menu, go to the
Mount command and select the (checked) volume.
Volumes can be hard disks (internal and external), or parts of
hard disks (partitions), CDs, DVDs, floppies, Zips and various memory
cards.
From the Network Preference application you can mount network drives
(homeareas or shared volumes) through it's inbuilt CIFS
client. To have these volumes on the desktop, you must enable
that option in the Tracker
Settings.
