Did you remove the hardware properly when you last used it (using safely remove / eject)?

only thing I removed was the hard drive. USB ports have not work from point of install so I didn't have a remove or eject option when I initially plugged my phone to the USB
Yes but did you safetly remove it or did you just unplug it from the system?

I unplugged for the system didn't see any option to eject or unmount it never appeared on the system
Then that's why. There is a proper way to remove devices from ALL OSes.
In Windows XP:

In Windows 7:

In Ubuntu:

If you simply wrench the device from the system you risk data corruption as well as the device being marked as dirty. This causes devices to not automount in Ubuntu.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Julian for more information if necessary.
