Sp1t, thanks for your reply... I use gnome, but i tried it in Konquerer... it says the user and group are root and so I can't change them unless I run it as root... tried that via gnomes utility but it wouldn't load...
satinet, thanks for your message. Okay "hal" cool!
Here is my fstab... I commented out my dodgy line because different devices are mounted as /dev/sda1. When I plug in a fat32 usb key it will mount on /dev/sda1 and so I want different options... hal is supposed to do this without fstab isn't it?

It says "rw"... I don't know much, but since Konqueror reported the owner and group to be "root", I guess that the "rw" is for users in "root".
When I enable the last commented line in fstab (which I added) and attach the hdd, dmesg shows this and the device doesn't mount:
usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 11

As you can see the filesystem stuff is left out.
It isn't listed as mounted in mtab

Awesome, will look into it but would still appreciate if anyone can give me a little push in the right direction.
