SUSE 10.2 & 10.3. Kde 3.5.7(10.3) and 3.5.8 (10.2)

I know the floppy is old but until I can use a cd rw like a floppy I'm stuck 
with floppys, plus I need to copy old data off the floppy.

I am unable to mount a floppy as user or read or write the floppy as user. I 
was able to read, write and mount floppy before updating my 10.2 system to 
KDE 3.5.8. I can do it as root. My user is in the groups floppy and disk. 
Still denies permission to mount. 

brw-rw----+ 1 root disk 2, 0 2007-12-13 07:10 /dev/fd0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root        root 4096 2007-12-09 12:00 floppy


How do I format a CD RW to be a udf disk so I can drag and drop to it instead 
of a floppy drive. Could not find answer on k3b website. Only option in 
program is erase CD. No format option. Burn allows me to do it but I was under 
the impression I could set the CDRW to act like a floppy. The one method I 
found searching through google did not work. 

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
