I tried to copy file in my portable hard but i cant … I remove it and again plug in but that time it cant open … What should i do … hole my life is inside That 
i check similar thread but it cant help me … I know anything about linux … my drive is 500gb seagate freeagaint Go 
Ok, you need to be more specific what is your hardware, what OS and version, What model of seagate freeagent, how were you using it before it gave trouble, what steps have you taken to try and resolve the problem??? Be aware that portable drives USB part sometimes go down leaving the drive itself and it’s info good but the USB communication between the PC and drive is dead. I am not suggesting yours has this problem but it is a possibility based upon the lack of info provided.
model : saegate freeagent go 500Gb
os : linux openSuse 11.3 Kde 4.4.4
before trouble just copy some music from driver to music folder
after disconnect it again connect and not working

Plugin the drive, open a console and type
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
What’s the output?
If the drive has a FAT or NTFS (i.e., Windows), plug it back into a Windows machine and befor eunplugging it, make sure you use the “Safely remove” icon in the systray or whatever it is called.
It should then work in Linux again.

I’ve found that a new feature of SuSE 11.3 is the enhanced ability to recognize (although not immediately mount) external hard drives that’s very user friendly for newbies (avoid remembering all that command line stuff)…
Open Dolphin, navigate to /root/media/ and you should see your external peripheral.
Simply click on the appropriate peripheral and wait for SuSE to do its stuff.
After a minute or two, you’ll see the file system for your external drive in Dolphin, the drive fully mounted automagically.
This only has to be done once, SuSE will remember that peripheral thereafter.
Note: Curiously, the Freeagent external hard drives have their own USB VendorID/ProductID which is why they won’t be recognized immediately even if you’ve connected some other external drive before.

1 - its Out put
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
2- go in windows and eject it but nothing happened
3- i went in Root/Media but nothing there
after i type password in terminal the output is

So do what I suggested 
Uwe
You can check in yast and see if it has a mount point … because the drive is being seen.
I presume you used remove drive safely in windows and not eject drive which is something totally separate right!
