Just to add on what Connie said.
S.L. 3.0.x does not automatically put the usb stuff in the /etc/fstab 
and make them automatically mountable by general users.  That is in S.L. 
4.x, but not S.L. 3.0.x.
S.L. 3.0.x you have to either mount it as root, or set things up in 
fstab by hand so that the users can mount it.  So if you look in 
/proc/partitions (or /var/log/messages) and see it is /dev/sda1 then 
you'll have to make a directory and mount it, as root, such as
   mkdir -p /media/usbdisk
   mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk
