There is a file browser in KDE. You can use that to go to /mnt.
Inside /mnt there are directories.
/mnt/floppy is the diskette drive
/mnt/cdrom is the cd-player
etc.
As you are running Mandrake already that means you are accessing your HD's.
If you refer to your Windows disks, those are in /mnt also. Probably named
/mnt/win_c and so forth, but since I always butcher installs and directories,
someone else has to give you the real names.
Good luck
