only hard drive partitions (sda-9) and  'sr0'. I think sr0 is the camera
card.... not sure though as nothing is plugged in to that.

That's bad...
That suggests that the drive doesn't trigger udev, which most likely
means
that is damaged, but a 'pull without mounting' would not do that, so:
BEFORE PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:
lsusb > /tmp/lsusb-b4.txt
AFTER PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:
lsusb > /tmp/lsusb-af.txt
sdiff -s /tmp/lsusb-b4.txt /tmp/lsusb-af.txt
If you see nothing, it's probably hosed...

Michael, I am no following the thread but:
BEFORE PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:
cp /proc/partitions /tmp/partitions
AFTER PLUGING IN THE DRIVE:
sdiff -s /proc/partitions /tmp/partitions
Whatever you see is your partition, then:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd${YOUR_PARTITION_******THAT_YOU_FOUND_ABOVE}
Then create a new partition (cfdisk) and mk2fs it.
YMMV...

well.... I just went to officemax to see if windows could format it.
it
could not and the guys there said my drive was corrupted. So I bought
a
new
one. I still have the 'corrupted' drive if there are any ideas out
there
in
plug land about how to fix it. (it is so upsetting.... the drive
isn't a
year old yet)

Pull the drive out and do:
cat /proc/partitions
Then insert the drive into your computer, count to 10 and run the
above
command again.  The new drive that shows up is the one you just
inserted.
 If you don't see any differences, run it again, the drive just might
be
slow in connecting to you system.  If it doesn't show up at all, it
might
be damaged and isn't going to show up... try turning it off and back
on
again :)

Well,  I stuck a usb drive into the computer, opened a terminal, and
copied files to it. Then I forgot to umount the drive and pulled the
drive out. Now I need to format it and do not know how to do that.
How
do I see what the drive is being called when I stick it in?
