Ubuntu was running perfectly, suddenly my internal HDD partitions (except file system) and partitions of external HDD disappeared. I was able to mount the partitions of internal HDD via disk utility, but I couldn't find the external HDD. I tried Gparted partition editor and it couldn't find the device. I tried my HP flash drive and found that all the USB devices were not shown up.

Here is the result of lsusb

Check if the hardware and kernel components are responding when you plug a device. To do this, see the last few lines of output of the command dmesg as soon as you plug the device in. Post the output here, so we try to figure out what the problem is. – donatello Aug 14 '12 at 10:20

I have something similar happening - suddenly all 4 USB ports stopped working.

dmesg when wireless mouse plugged in gives the following result:
