Boot from a 10.04 Live CD. If USB works there, then the mess that you
have created by using half-a-dozen or so installs with a shared home
directory and who knows what strange "modifications" is responsible
for your USB problem(s).

You should wipe your HD and install just one release and use it as a
day-to-day OS and then either install and make a mess of things on
another box or within Virtual Box.
