I believe we already answered this. By default, Fedora 17 and up
do NOT automatically mount removable media. An icon for the media
generally will appear on your desktop, but you have to double-click
it to mount and open it.

Depending on your desktop manager (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, whatever), there
are various ways to change that behavior. Under XFCE (my desktop), you
can go to "Settings-->Removable Drives and Media", and set various
options. There are similar things under other desktops.

Also note that, by default, media now mount at 
/run/media/<username>/<filesystemlabel> as opposed to general 
"/media/<filesystemlabel>" as
used in F16 and earlier.
