At the risk of declaring victory prematurely, I too had a USB hub attached which I have since removed and everything is working great.

My previous setup was:

* Direct attached to PC:
 - Disk
 - Keyboard
 - Hub

* Attached to HUB:
 - Dock for digital camera (off)
 - Corded mouse
 - iPod

In my previous setup the USB system would die when doing lots of disk access on the USB disk.

New setup is:

* Direct attached to PC:
 - Disk
 - Keyboard
 - Mouse

The system has been up and stable for hours wiht lots of very heavy activity on the disk.

The hub is currently plugged in to another machine (Win2k) and is working just fine.

Any ideas on what information I can provide?
