I've got a 250GB external USB drive.
Also, a brand new load of Ubuntu 7.04.
for the first couple of days, the external drive would show up when I
plugged the device in... (Icon appear on desktop as if by magic... )
then one day I accidentally removed the drive without ejecting it
nicely.
Ever since, when I plug in the USB drive, the system recognizes that a
new device has shown up, I can manually mount /dev/sdb1 and read the
data, but no automagic mounting.
I don't know if this will help because I never had a similar problem.
Anyway, what file system is on the partition? If it is ext2 or ext3 you
may try to run fsck for the device after unmounting it. In a terminal the
command would be:
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
