KDE & Gnome _don't_ generally find your fixed drives (USB connected drives
are another matter).  The fixed drives are listed in /etc/fstab and I
guarantee the same version of Ubuntu & Kubuntu will find the same ones. 
afaik, the installer is identical (it makes no sense to use different ones)
so the /etc/fstab should be identical.  That said, if you have a valid
Gnome desktop and would prefer KDE, do: 

# sudo aptitude install kde-desktop 

If you like the results, 

# sudo aptitude purge gnome-desktop
