Actually, i found where the device was. it was: 
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-MITSUMI_MITSUMI_USB_FDD

(i am using a Mitsumi floppy drive just FYI eventhough that doesnt 
partain the problem)

anyways, i can mount it and so on and so on, now the question is, how do 
i change the permissions so that i dont have to be root to add/remove 
files from the drive?

i tried changing the permissions through the GUI in root mode (i logged 
out, switched into run mode 1, ran sudo startx and logged in as root)

I attempted to change the permissions from there, but it wouldnt change 
them. it would revert to the previous permissions where only the rout to 
do anything on this drive.

How do i change this
