Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that controls mounting or unmounting of a specified storage area to an operating system on the information processing apparatus and a memory that stores a first mount status indicating whether or not mounting or unmounting operation is performed to the information processing apparatus and a second mount status indicating whether or not the specified storage area is mounted. The circuitry presents the specified storage area as an available mounted storage area to a user if the second mount status indicates that the specified storage area is mounted, and does not present the specified storage area as the available storage area if the second mount status indicates that the storage area is not mounted.
