Mounting refers to the process of attaching the newly created partition or drive to an existing directory to make it accessible. The directory where the new partition is attached is called the mount point. After the partition is mounted, you can access the files on that partition by accessing the mount point for the new partition. Early Linux distributions did not allow the auto-mounting of new partitions or drives. However, from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, you can easily access the new partitions by auto-mounting the partitions. When you create a new partition, the new partition opens as a separate window and the partition appears as a disk icon on the desktop.

Booting up is a process through which the operating system is loaded into the computer's main memory or random access memory (RAM). The boot-up process starts when you turn on your computer. During this process, the BIOS takes control of your computer and decides where to look for software on the computer and in which order.Your computer's BIOS settings determine whether your computer will first check the hard disk or a floppy disc, CD, DVD or flash memory to start the booting-up process. If you have multiple operating systems installed on your computer, the BIOS configuration determines which operating system will be loaded first at boot-up.

However, as a superuser or user with administrative privileges, it is possible for you to change the boot-up configuration to define the computer's boot order, change the default operating system to boot-up or make a system command run automatically at boot-up.
