Maybe it is already mounted automatically under the /media directory? 
Other than that, iI you want it mounted permanently at a specific 
location, make an entry in your fstab. Use the command

gksu /etc/fstab

in a terminal to modify the file. If you only want to mount it 
occasionally, use the mount command. Type

man -a fstab mount

in a terminal to find out the syntax of the fstab file and the mount 
command.
