Test to see if it's not something deeper first:
Bring up a Konsole window and type the following (> being your prompt)
>cd /mnt
>ls
(listing of contents)
>mount /mnt/<device>
<device> should be replaced by something like "floppy" or "cdrom" or
"hda1" or "c" or whatever (sans quotation marks) you have in there (they
are your mount points for your devices - your other drives and stuff).
If that tells you something like "resource busy, could not mount" then
try
>cd <device>
If it is not mounted and you still can't mount it then please post the
messages you get.
Oh yeah, before that, check to make sure it's not just a problem with
KDE. Login to Gnome instead and try the same thing. If you can do it in
Gnome and not in KDE, then it's deffinitelly a problem with KDE. If you
can't do it there, then It's deffinitelly a problem somewhere else
(probably in the /etc/fstab file, but possibly - hopefully not - in the
/dev directory).
Please post what happens. I've gotten problems like this before and know
they can be a Yeti to track (the Yeti being much more elusive than the
bear ;)
