    I am running Parallels 1922 RC2 for Mac, with Win XP Home SP2.

    I receive a Stop message when formatting a San Disk Cruzer Titanium USB Drive.

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000008, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xF7B01509)

    usbuhci.sys - Address F7B01509 base at F7AFE000. Datestamp 41107d62

    Easily replicated for me. Not sure how to get to the core dump for additional information.

    Parallels restarts the VM.

    USB support still has problems. Format in OSX.
    If you really NEED NTFS, format on a PC, but FAT32 is a better choice for small drives.

    You're mad for even trying.

    The USB port is on a different machine to the Parallels guest OS. The guest OS runs in a virtual machine. All the hardware is emulated although the Parallels app makes a good job of hiding this from you.

    Formatting a USB stick (formatting any disk) is something you want to have done reliably. Do it in a native operating system.

    Thanks. Also need to know the limits of the virtualization. I ultimately completed the task on a native operating system...I was also trying to troubleshoot the USB device. OS X reliably mounted the device. However, the device was producing inconsistent mounts on a native windows machine.
