NOTE: in MEPIS 8, the easiest method is to click on the My Computer icon on your desktop

KwikDisk is a kicker applet (looks like three little cubes) that is installed with MEPIS 6.5 and up. When started, it shows up just to the right of the middle space. It has a variety of uses:

  • It displays the available file devices (hard drive partitions, floppy and CD drives, etc.) along with information on their free space, type and mount point.
  • It allows you to easily mount and unmount drives. For this reason it is the quickest way to access Windows files in a dual-boot configuration: just click on your Windows partition (e.g., hda1 or sda1).
  • It is an entry for KDiskFree, a utility that measures available space (type man:kdf into Konqueror's address bar).


Tips
In MEPIS 7, to stop KwikDisk from asking you for the root password before you can access other drives, right-click the KwikDisk icon --> Configure Kwikdisk, change this entry for File Manager 

kdesu kfmclient openURL %m

to this one by removing "kdesu" 

kfmclient openURL %m

and click OK.
