Thank you,
Log attached.
I can see the portable USB HD (Ext4) in the file manager.
The USB drive I pulled the USB cable out is a 1T Backup driver. It
contains everything...
I pug the drive in another notebook, running the same OS. The drive does
not appear.
Can pulling out a USB cable damage a partition table. I am worry now.
