<p>A computer implemented method and apparatus is disclosed for mounting a user removable media in a computer system includes acquiring (109) a media identifier input (50) and a function identifier input (52) from a user of the computer system. The media identifier input identifies the user removable media, and the function identifier input specifies a mounting operation to be performed on the user removable media. The media identifier and the function identifier inputs are processed to access a system media interface (12) of the computer system, for example, by converting (116) the media identifier input to a physical path of the user removable media in the computer system, and determining (118) if the physical path of the media identifier input is valid within the computer system. A simulated media event (36, 38) is generated to mount (18) the user removable media in the computer system. If desired, a determination (122) may be made whether the user has valid permission to control the user removable media identified by the media identifier input. This may be performed by reading a media permission level associated with the user removable media identified by the media identifier input, reading a user permission level associated with the user, and comparing the media permission level to the user permission level. <IMAGE></p> |
