So I got a workaround here.

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb will allow a mount of thumbdrive

So if any one need to mount / plug in both USB Thumb drive and MP3 (4) Player at the same time,

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb2

Where /media/usb is the thumbdrive location, assuming thumbdrive was plugged in first.

Floppy wise, then

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

Well Floppy drive are usually in /dev/fd0 , unless someone have both Zip drive and floppy, then one of them would have been /dev/fd1
And one thing to note is that to mount a floppy, a filesystem must be specified. This is not true for thumbdrive and MP3(4) Player. Why?

Both uses FAT32 what?

Furthermore, for Floppy that do not mount using Hardy tried my solution, it would have the original Floppy Disk Drive shown in Menu to become dban-1.0.7 and a new link called floppy 0
Why? (Oh yes click on the dban-1.0.7 button will result some error message which is shown below)

Yes, my locale is Chinese so I translated the error message into English:

Unable to mount volume
Unable to mount volume dban-1.0.7
Detailed Message:
mount: /dev/fd0 has either mounted or /media/floppy0 is busy
mount: According to mtab, /dev/fd0 has already been mounted to /media/floppy0.
