I have the same problem.
I use an old Toshiba laptop (P3 450MHz 256RAM).
I used to run Fedora Core 3 with Gnome, which gave me no problems with 
the USB.
I am 100% certain that there is nothing wrong with my USB memory stick. 
I have tried several sticks, and the problem is the same for all of them.
I am a Linux newbie, and therefore have little to contribute but 
confirming that this is not a one-off problem.
It is quite annoying, because I have discovered that i really prefer KDE 
, and Kubuntu seems to be one of the few distros that I am competent 
enough to install on this computer.
