I would write: "access" instead of read, and mounted (and change mount for=

This part is a little tricky, how about changing it like this:

Once a device is mounted, KDE can access all the information about the devi=
ce,=20
such as how to read it, how to write information to it, and more.
Mounting a device is controlled by the tools provided by your operating=20
system.  On some operating systems KDE can automount devices itself, with H=
AL=20
(Hardware Abstraction Layer) =20

It's easier to read, and easier to translate, if you remove clauses like: "=
one=20
has to".  Compare:
In KDE one only has to right click the...=20
Right click the ... =20
(We know they are in KDE, or they wouldn't be reading KDE documentation!)

There are some other grammatical mishaps, and spelling errors, but for a fi=
rst=20
try, it's very nice. =20

I presume this is for the user guide which is missing this info:=20
( http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/multimedia.html#remo=
vable-disks )? =20
If it's OK with you that I make the corrections above, I will mark this up=
=20
and add it to the User Guide. =20
