Does the above means that a corresponding icon is always missing
when you browse "Computer" window?  Or maybe only if you insert
some media in a drive and comes back when media are ejected?
I have a box which does such peek-a-boo but with CD.  OTOH with
floppies recently I always see "Probably missing media" or something
like that.

Can you mount your media using just 'mount' from a command line;
possibly as root?

Depends on what is actually happening.
