I'd disagree, theres a perfectly good reason to blame Ubuntu, their NBR doesn't work on Netbooks. In my book thats an epic FAIL and probably spells the end of Linux's chance on netbooks given it is the highest profile distro and they just don't appear interested in fixing it.

To those having problems recovering devices, I recommend repartioning the drive or writing to the raw devices. Milax does this well. Format, select device, analyze and purge.
