IDE drive via USB to IDE/SATA connector not being recognized

[MasterNetra]

In Ubuntu 13.10 and in 14.04 plugging in a IDE drive using a USB to IDE/SATA connector no longer results in the drive being mounted or recognized.

1. Steps I took:
   a. Plugged in the IDE drive into a functioning USB slot and turned on (as usual).
   b. Waited for at least 5 minutes (in the past usually mounts within 2 minutes).

2. What I expected to happen:
 Is expected to auto-mount or at least show up in nautilus (mounted or not).

3. What did happen:
 system reacts as it would be when its checking it out but ultimately does nothing about it. No mounting, nor does it seem to show up anywhere at all.

Notes: Older versions then even 13.04 (10.10 for example) still recongize and mount it. So its not a hardware issue.

Edit: added in post sentence details as requested.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
