Does Ubuntu support USB 1.0?

I have a 16 GB 1.0 USB Stick in titanium with leather bound, which i happen to love. I know it works in Vista (of all things) but in Ubuntu 11.04 (i also have gnome 3, if that may affect, but am fairly certain I tried before) it is not detected. I have also run sudo commands in the terminal to search for it and it does not show up, nor when I login as root.

Due to the slow speed I only use it for HTML/CSS/PHP and a backup of Software Setups in case I break something and need to get my setup back without an internet connection.

Toshiba Satellite-Pro L300 1F-J (with upgraded RAM).

3 USB 2.0 Ports, 2 on the left, one on the right, all tested.

$ sudo lsusb generates:

USB 1.0 is upward compatible so this should not be a problem.

It's possible that the partition table on the USB stick is corrupted and that Windows is being less picky about it than Linux.

See if the "Disk Utility" application (palimpsest) shows your hardware when you connect it. See if it recognises the partitions. See if the "Mount Volume" button works.

If it's seeing the hardware OK, one thing you could try is

Backup the files on the stick from Windows

Boot into Linux

Reformat and repartition the drive from palimpsest

Copy the files back onto it from Windows

Some USB sticks are supplied with custom partition schemes (like U3 sticks) and this might also be confusing things - again, you could try repartitioning the drive.
