And i think my N900 had little earth when i connected to hub..I need your advice..I have seen a youtube video where HDD is conneted via a 5pin external powered Hub. Is power rating of the Hub a factor affecting this..Should i buy a new Hub..actually my idea was to connect multiple devices via a Hub to N900...

please supply the usual dmesg printout, and lsusb printout.
Make sure your hub is powered via external PSU, plug in hub to N900 immediately after hitting [VBUS boost], then hit [Enumerate].
Then plug in peripheral to hub.
