Thank you! Your ten minutes to three hours suggestion seems to be in line with the drive magically working after about 20 minutes. However, it stopped working once again, so I'll mark your answer as correct when I have 3 hours to spare.

Alright, it worked, thanks again. Is there a more reliable file system to use that's cross-platform that this doesn't happen with?

Damn, thanks. I ejected the drive successfully after the files showed up (finally), and plugged back in the external drive, and the files are gone again. Looks like I'm going to have to wait 20 minutes every time I plug in the drive. Or format to OSX filesystem.

If this is happening after the drive is properly removed, you may not be having the same problem I was describing.

Well, regardless your solution is still working. The files have shown up again. I will probably just back up and reformat the drive. Thanks.
