I believe this is a duplicate of bug 868628

That bug was fixed in a stable release update.  Can you try applying
updates and see if this issue is fixed?  You can apply the updates from
a terminal with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If the updates do fix this bug, please mark it as a duplicate of bug

Title:
  Ubuntu crashes when removing HP Simple Save

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I recently downloaded Ubuntu 11.10.  I plugged in my HP Simple Save
  backup hardrive, everything was fine.  Selected the drive to safely
  remove it from the system, got a message that i could safely remove
  the Simple Save then computer crashed.  I could not move the mouse I
  couldn't even turn off the computer, the power button was frozen.  I
  have never heard of a crash that locks out the power button.  Had to
  remove the battery on my computer (Samsung R580 laptop) in order to
  clear.  Was able to boot up and also able to recreate the freeze.
  Help please. I am completely new to Ubuntu so talk newbie.  Thanks in
  advance.
