Luckily...! I dont think it will do any good to ur devices...
Probably you dont get enough power because your ext HD is a USB 2.0 device.
USB 2.0 devices like HDs require considerably more power than what the standard USB 1.0 (1.1) can deliver.
Otherwise you can try with a hub with external mains supply.
