For some reason it may happen in Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) that your USB storage devices aren’t detected anymore.
The indeed _very_ strange solution is to turn off LEGACY FLOPPY SUPPORT in the BIOS setup. If you don’t have such a setting (i.e like my Dell Precision T3400) and don’t have any floppy drive either then try deactivating everything that refers to floppy drives in the BIOS setup.
