a reflashing can't alter the power that N900 can provide. It always should be 5V@200mA - only charging battery may improve behaviour in some niche cases.
Plugging in the peripheral after starting VBUS boost sometimes helps.
Honestly, I doubt 200mA ever can be enough to start up any but the smallest HDD, I suggest using a Y-cable and USB PSU, or a selfpowered hub for this
