Answering to your suggestions:
- Looked under /mnt and is not listed
- Checked 'Mounted Removable Medium' under KDE's Feel and Look and is not
showing
- Checked etc/fstab and is not listed
- haldaemon service is running and starting at boot (what is this anyway?)
and have checked /var/log/syslog finding the following:

So it is going wrong in the hal process (HAL - Hardware Abstraction Layer is a
daemon that recognises new hardware and works out what to do with it)
Is the 'messagebus' service running? It is essential for hal.
