Perhaps you ought to repartition the drive from scratch, accepting the default settings for your new partitions.

It seems that the partition isn't getting automounted properly, but why is this? Could be that a custom filesystem has been specified and the dostype is incorrect or something..

Another option is that the drive is failing and nothing is written to the disk itself, making it seem like it's working but then when you reset it loses everything.
