Hey, I recently came across an old HP Pavilion ze4400 laptop in work. The laptop boots fine, and has xubuntu installed.The cd drive works fine too.The problem is it doesn't detect any usb device I plug into it or it doesn't detect any Ethernet cable I plug in either. Any one have any ideas as how to fix this? Appreciate any reply's. Thanks.

moved to correct forum. check in bios to see if both are enabled. if enabled then is a software issue as in lack of drivers which have to be installed for them to work.

Sounds like it needs proper drivers for network interface and chipset. I could be of more help but I am ignorant on the inner workings of Linux. Perhaps this question would be better asked in a Linux forum?
edit---DDP agreed and transported this while I typed my response.

maybe you need to mount usb stick manualy
most likely its /dev/sda1 od sdb1 but you can try both 
sudo mkdir /media/usb
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb

or

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
