i did it but the problem remain
What method did you use to upgrade?
sudo do-release-upgrade -d from terminal
Does dmesg indicate that the usb drive has been detected properly?

In fact I always make it a point to have another desktop environment installed just for these cases. Then uninstall unity-desktop and reinstall it - see what happens..
