All USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible to USB 1.1, 1.0 etc.

Check the USB port on your laptop with another USB device and see if its working. If not, its broken. And there is no way to change a USB 1.0 or what ever into an 2.0 port, because its hardware and must be physically changed.How do I Change my USB port to 2.0?

Your port is USB2.0 it is the power drain that is the problem, as there is not enough power on the single port. I assume that the drive works on the docking station when the Mains Power unit is in place. After all the Docking station has Three more Ports, and needs more power on the 5 volt rail.
