That is OK for someone well acquainted with Linux/UBUNTU, but how do I
find out the correct "device" term for an external USB hard drive that
is not mounted or even detected?

This same problem has been occurring with Windows XP and with Windows
Vista. That is why I switched to UBUNTU.

Could it be some sort of malware that has not yet been identified? Or
could it be some flaw in the USB protocol that is just emerging?
