Two possible solution.
1. Some external USB device comes with external power supply. Please use it to increase the power to the USB device. They are normally about 5 volts.
2. Plug into the USB port on the motherboard rather than the front bay or through the USB hub, The reason is because the USB at the motherboard has more power.
Re: 1. They are ALWAYS 5 volts
Re: 2. The USB at the motherboard does not have any more or less power than a single hub or the front bay connection. Shared ports, like hubs, have the same current available per connection to the CPU.
Finally, power is not the cause of this symptom. It is caused by corrupt or missing DLL's.

I had the same problem with an Acer Aspire 5515. I plugged in an external hard drive to the front USB port and got the same error message. I then plugged in an 8GB flash drive but to no avail......same message. Finally, I tried devices in the rear USB that's on the motherboard and Eureka!!!! they both worked like they're supposed to.
With that said, both ports having different voltage has merit.
