Description of problem:
The drive, a Maxtor 300 GB removable hard drive on the USB bus doean't mount when the system is booted.  Nor are the files /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, which are the device files for this device created, which makes it impossible for the mount command to mount the drive.  However if the drive is unplugged from the USB bus and then plugged in again, the files /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 are created, and if KDE is running, KDE even asks if the drive should be mounted.

To be exact about the drive:

Additional info:
This breaks my automatic backup system run by anacron, unless I remember to unplug and plug back in the removable drive pretty quick.
