No updates but as you say the symptoms are definitely those of the
firewire going to sleep & not waking.

Under System prefernces - energy saver - sleep
do you happen to have " Put the Hard Drives to sleep when possible
" checked ?

Did it arise after doing an update?
A security update, or OS, or application update?
There has to be a reason why it has just started to have this
problem.
Does the Firewire Drive go to sleep and perhaps it is not waking
when the computer wakes in the morning?

Thank-you Ronni, I will try this next time this happens. It may
solve the problem but why has it suddenly arisen?

I have a WD external hard drive connected to firewire 400 port
on my Intel Mac running 10.5.7
The external drive has two partitions - on running time machine
and the other is a backup clone.
In the last few days, on waking from sleep in the morning, the
computer shows the standard device removal warning "The device
you removed was not properly put away etc." and the icons for
the external disk are not on the desktop. This is a recent
phenomenon and does not seem to happen when the computer sleeps
during the day.
Any clues/advice.

Hello Barry,
When this happens, with the drive connected and powered open
Disk Utility, does the drive show there?
If the drive is listed in the left side list then select the
volume even if it's greyed out, then click on the Mount icon in
the DU toolbar.
Cheers,
Ronni
