    My external Hard drive has an ext3 file system with 3 partitions. 
When I plug it into my computer it is loaded to /media/disk/. I can do 
ANYTHING you can do to any hard drive connected to this computer.

    I suggest you find out what yours is called and there is no way for 
the USB stuff to change the ownerships.
