If I have a HDD connected via a USB adaptor, I've found that after an initial plugging and use, then safely removing it, going back to it, in the same session, it may or may not be recognised.
I've always had a similar problem when using Safely Remove. The solution is to use Unmount rather than Safely Remove; then you can mount & unmount it as many times as you like with no problems.
I will try that option ! However I think I've killed my USB - HDD adaptor ! Non of the machines that I have now even recognise that I've plugged the thing in. That's two desktops and my laptop. The ports are OK since they all recognise my USB sticks.
I'll order a new one and try again.
What does dmesg say when plugging in?
Absolutely nothing, but if I plug in a USB stick I get this,

Does this help ?
OMG, I have a flashback! If you search the TDE archives you'll find earlier post from me with a simillar problem. TDE did nothing, when I plugged in my Casio camera (usb mass storage device). It turned out that a genius from freedesktop.org changed an entry in the hardware database so that my caera was not recognized as "disk" any more. I still have the udev-rule on my computer, 'cause freedesktop.org don't fix this feature:
#/etc/udev/rules.d/99-casio.rules # UDEV erkennt CASIO Kamera als "generic", nicht als "disk" :-( ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="CASIO_COMPUTER_CASIO_QV_DIGITAL", ENV{ID_TYPE}="disk", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="1", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0" ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="TANDBERG_RDX_TANDBERGRD6520236564-0:0", ENV{ID_TYPE}="disk", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="1", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"
... looks I had the same problem on my Tandberg, as well ...
