Default dmserver and ShellHWDetection not running? cannot attach USB drive

I have no idea how this happened...

I tried to attach an external USB HD and it failed.. nothing happened.
The System event log listed two errors, several times each, both were
timeouts. One was for the "dmserver service," and the other was for the
"ShellHWDetection service." I can't find dmserver in the list of
services, but the ShellHWDetection service shows as present and set to
Automatic. How might I fix this?

Thanks,
Jason

There is a third error reported with the two mentioned. This is for the
TrkWks service... same thing, a timeout
