So the problem is that I've started to experience problems with my external HDD. I've had 2-3 IME 3.0 and 1 external HDD die on me in 5-7 years. I bought a new external HDD and after 6 months it's acting up. I'm wondering if overclocking the USB polling rate to 500hz has caused all these problems, so I reverted to the original usbport.sys with 125hz but I would still like to use 500hz on my mouse. And that's where hidusbf would be ideal but apparently it doesn't support SP3.

You guys know any way I could leave my usb ports at default while having 500hz on my mouse using XP SP3? Any adivce would be much appreciated. I already tried to fool hidusbf by replacing my sp3 usbport.sys with sp2 one but no results so far :(
