When an external HD drops off the screen (presumably after going to sleep) how does one get it to re-mount?
You've got a USB issue here. First your iPod Touch isn't recognized, now you're saying your HDs are "drop off the screen" which isn't supposed to happen ever, and both are USB related. You've got a bigger problem than a HD sleep issue because your iPod is definitely wrong behavior for certain, and it has nothing to do with software on your G5, it's a pure hardware issue.
You should look in your Utility>Console logs for error messages related to USB. It's likely you'll see error messages. If your USB ports are bad, you may need to purchase a USB PCI card.
