As I suspected, you have more than one UHCI host controller -- you have five of them. That means you should have as many as ten available USB ports on the computer, since each UHCI host controller can have at most two ports. Some of the ports may be on the front of the computer, some may be on the back, some may be inside where you can't get to them, and some may not even really exist at all.
You're going to need to figure out which ports go with which host controller, since if you want to use more than one host controller you need to install more than one instance of USBUHCIL. You can install USBUHCIl just as you have done, which installs USBUHCIL for the first host controller (Index 0). Then, try plugging the disk in to different ports and see if it starts working.
Or, you can leave the disk plugged in where it is, and install USBUHCIL for the different host controllers until you figure out which one is the right one. Do something like this:
USBUHCIL /Index:1
USBDRIVE
Wait a few seconds, and see if the disk starts working (you can try a "USBDEVIC" to see if the disk is there, or try a "DIR E:"). If the disk doesn't show up:
USBDRIVE /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:1 /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:2
USBDRIVE
Wait a few seconds, try it again. If that doesn't work:
USBDRIVE /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:2 /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:3
USBDRIVE
Wait a few seconds, try it again. If that doesn't work:
USBDRIVE /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:3 /Uninstall
USBUHCIL /Index:4
USBDRIVE
