Cannot mount or eject external USB hard drive

Your profile says 2gig of RAM. If that is the case it's unrealistic to try and solve this issue which can be mitigated with swap and cache settings on bigger RAM systems. If you read the post all the way through the mitigation was to turn off swap completely, though other caching process controls can be tweaked as well, but your 2gig of RAM limits the amount of performance boost you may get without swap and cache limiting. You can try with swap off, but your system may go OOM.

PS, GUI disappears because your video card is configured above base memory, rather than below and you have memory limitations during big file transfers.

Things to try: Reboot your base system and use Lite Tweaks  to clear all memory and caches, then turn swap off and try the copy process. If your BIOS offers video card settings choose below rather than above.
