USB Flash Drives Disappeared

I posted to the forums, and was asked for the cli commands below, but
so far no replies since, so thought I would try here too.



I have a 3.5 inch bay 7 in 1 USB flash drive device in my Feisty install.

When I installed Feisty it was there after the install and worked fine
for weeks. Now all of a sudden its gone. When I pull up the Computer
in Places the drives aren't listed. I thought perhaps it was a loose
cable but that didn't help (its connected directly to the mobo).

However if I boot into Windows the drives are there fine and work
fine. Boot back into Ubuntu, nothing. LiveCD sees them fine.

Can someone please let me know if there is a file or something I can
tweak to have Ubuntu re-see the drives?

Many thanks.
