As of this afternoon my phone is no longer recognizing when i plug it in to my pc via the usb cable. The pc itself will recognize that a device has been connected and begins the add new device wizard. The phone however will fail to prompt the mounting options in the notification bar.
Im not really sure what could have caused this since i havent made any changes to my phone since manually installing 2.2 last week and grabbing a few new apps. BUT, I did drop my phone earlier today onto my garage floor. Any chance these mounting troubles may be a result of the fall???..
Any ideas? Anyone having similar problems??

Is USB debugging enabled? If so disable it.

Menu > Settings > Applications

Uncheck USB debugging.

Uncheck USB debugging.

Also, make sure that you enabled USB Mounting in your notifications pane.
When you see the USB symbol, swipe down on the notifications pane so that you can see the 'USB connected' window. Touch the pane and then press the 'turn on usb storage' virtual button. touch "ok' to start. It should take a few seconds to mount. In 2.2 the android icon changes from green to orange to indicate usb connection.
