This works for me... In KDE go to System > Hardware Browser > select Hard Drives
This should show you the partions. Then edit the file /etc/fstab to mount the partition Mine looks like this.... LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda1 /c vfat rw,umask=000 0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /storage vfat rw,umask=000 0 0 0 /dev/sda1 /camera vfat rw,umask=000 0 0 0 (I am sure experts could advise something better but it works for me) You also need to create the appropriate folders (e.g. for me /c and /storage) Hope this helps.
