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.
 
Forgot to add:

Machine data -
MacBook Pro
2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM
Allocated 1 GB of Memory, 4GB of storage
USB Controller - Autoconnect On
 
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.
