Your two USB ports are probably on a hub (internal) and the problem is power. If 
you have four ports (two in front, two in back), seperate those devices.
If you only have two ports, I would suggest getting a USB PCI card (assuming you 
have an open slot). A powered hub might work but, generally, neither modems nor drives 
work well on a shared connection.
