Mounting an external hard drive in Ubuntu

Lately Ubuntu hasn't been recognizing my external hard drives when I plug them into the USB ports. Here is a manual way to mount one named "weir17":


sudo mkdir /media/weir17
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/weir17 /media/weir17  


I'm not sure why this is not happening automatically, maybe something to do with them being formatted in NTFS?
