VMWare is quite good at dealing with hardware but it might still get in the way of working with OS X as it's an app inside it. I never used it, it would frequently pop up and get it the way, so after it wouldnt run the thumbdrive I uninstalled it. I had parallels and it wouldnt run the USB thumbdrive either. Is there a way to run this so the result is the ability to run the USB thumbdrive? A Google search resulted in the Boot Camp attempt.

I already have the Windows 8.1 disk and my mac wouldnt run it. If I dont get this right, I get fired, I cant pay for my house or groceries, I become homeless, I get agitated that I cant feed my kids, I have to rob a bank to get the money, I get caught, I go to prison and become the new toy for a huge axe murderer. Cant use Boot Camp so cant use the USB for work. I tried more than once because clearly I am not computer savvy and same result. Nothing more, no other options, just not available. When I try to do that within Boot Camp it tries and after a while comes back with a triangle with an exclamation mark saying support software unavailable. When I try to do the Boot Camp step by step it tells me to download support software.

I have a new (legal) Windows 8.1 package that I am attempting to install on my five year old macbook pro with OSX 10.6.8. Or said differently, the USB was set up to run on microsoft computers, not mac. I am trying to run a microsoft programmed USB for work.
