I've found that after things like that, and I've left the drive
unmounted.  There's an icon for it in Nautilus' computer space, or the
tree in the left panel, and double-clicking it will auto-mount it.

KDE probably has something similar.

And unplugging, wait a moment, replugging, should probably work, too.
It's probably a good idea to try that, once, on a freshly set up drive,
anyway.  To see if the drive auto-mounts in the usual way.
