The loop is indeed infinite, i changed for
 while !(quest=="y" or quest=="n")

Here is the final method :)

def finddevice()
  puts "We are now trying to find the device"
  found=0
  store=0
  quest="u"
  while found!=1
    io = IO.popen("cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage/#{store}", "r+")
    io.close_write
    str = io.read
    puts str
    while !(quest=="y" or quest=="n")
      puts "This is what is found on /proc/scsi/usb-storage/#{store}. Is 
it your device [y/n]"
      quest=gets.chop!.downcase
      if quest=="y"
      	found=1
      	@procdata = str
      else
        store+=1
      end
    end
  end
end

thanks again
