You may want to check System --> Preferences --> Removable Drives and Media Preferences - The storage and Multimedia tabs. You can control what happens when you insert different types of removable media. (If you are not running Gnome, then the menu chain will be different.) Or you can run gnome-volume-properties and get the same thing. If auto-mounting is turned off there, then disks will not get mounted. If the media itself is bad, you will also have problems with auto-mounting.
Thanks, Mikkel, but I cannot find "System --> Preferences" in my K menu (I am using KDE). Paul
