Your portable HDD is USB? Likely that your USB port is not supplying enough power to your HDD, try getting an external 5V adapter to plug into your HDD then plug in into your computer...

There has been some updates for USB ports for Windows XP. Update XP first, and plug in. If you are still facing the same problem, most likely there is not enough power. Do as others suggest, buy a power adapter for it.

Brand of HDD please. Don’t think you need SP2 to update the USB ports, you can select which updates you want.
