If you've got enough room on your computer's hard drive, you might want to install Linux to dual boot, then make Windows your default boot choice. Once that's done you can backup up your Calibre from the Windows' side, then install Calibre on the Linux side and restore from your Windows' side backup. I have the opposite setup. I normally use Linux but (occasionally) boot into the Windows' partition to use ADE. It's not the best solution, but it might help.
OR: Sometimes if you hook your USB cable to one of the back USB ports (the ones that come directly off the motherboard) they'll have just a little more voltage than the ones that are mounted on the front of the computer and will work with the Kobo.
OR: (as geek101 mention) sometimes a powered USB hub will fix this issue on several different computers.
Good luck. I hardly ever have trouble connecting to my eReaders using Linux Mint. I get the idea it's a more "direct" connection.
