Google "mac osx boot usb" without the quotes. You'll find reference to a permissions problem using USB boot drives and a way to overcome it. I've just gotten a 64 bit XP Pro working with minimal hassle, using VMware Fusion. It even recognizes all four processors on my MacPro. Neet! But I'm using the internal boot drive. Good luck with it. -- Dick Forever delight, Unix residing below, Always calm above.
