Yeah, the only thing I can think of is that some process is trying to connect
with the usb drive upon boot. A process that was not properly closed down
during system shutdown.
about removing all policies, (I set many) IS there a way to back up my
settings, then removing the policies to see if this helps, and if not putting
the backed up settings back?
There is nothing special about the usb drive, just a 4 GiG PNY drive.

It doesn't *sound* like a GPO problem but its really hard to tell with that. Is
there something special about that USB drive? In other words, will this repro
with *any* USB drive or just a particular one? The only thing I can think of is
that some part of the boot process is relying on checking that boot drive, but
its really hard tell from your description what part that is. In any case I
know of no policies off the top of my head that would cause this. Have you
tried removing all policies to see if the problem goes away?

The strangest thing is happening:
My windows machine will only boot with a USB drive in the USB port.
It will boot in safe mode with or without the USB drive.
checked bios settings, set to boot only to the SATA HD and shut off booting
from USB.
This is what happens if I boot without USB drive: first the windows xp screen
comes up, then after a few seconds it will go to a black screen and do nothing.
Put the USB drive in reboot and it boots with no problems.
The only changes I have made are to the GPO settings. could something in the
GPO settings be causing this?
Thanks!
