Sounds to me like it's mounted already.

Have you tried copying a file to it?

/media is the default location.

I don't think it's mounted. Go to system settings/advanced/disks and filesystems and enter the admin password. Then select the drive from the list and click "enable".

create a folder named "mydrive" or something under /media in Konqueror. Then go back to disks and filesystems and browse to that and select it under mount point.
