No notice... on what level?  At the desktop?  What desktop environment do 
you use?  No notification in the system log?  For the USB drive, does the 
device show up as a new /dev/sdX when you plug it in?  Does lsusb see it?

IOW, you didn't include enough information to know where to start on that 
problem, or even at what level the problem is appearing, system/kernel/
udev level, desktop environment level, or somewhere on the stack (dbus, 
hal, perhaps fstab) between the two.
