Can't read from USB disk

I'm having trouble reading from my usbdisks in KDE. In gnome it all works fine but in KDE the drive appears in the media directory but shows no contents. Any ideas?

It is a newly installed machine with Fedora Core 3 (64bit version) running on an AMD Athlon 64 FX55.

try to create a new .kdestop file for your device (right click on your desktop, create new, device link, HD) selecting your device file (look in /etc/fstab, it should be sdxx something). If the .desktop file can mount your USB disk, it means you can use it in KDE, so you can move it wherever you want.

I hope I've been clear enough.
