Subj: USB drive booting problem

I wonder if any of you linux bods can point me towards getting linux to
boot from a USB drive. I run Windows XP from the main HD and set Grub in
the master boot sector to offer either XP or Linux. Grub gets called and
off it goes to begin the initialise, but then hangs.
I have tried several flavours but seem to have a preference for Mandriva,
and have installed both 2008 and 2009 versions pretty successfully. After
what seems to be a clean install it just fails to boot. I have tried on
both 32 bit and 64 bit PCs.
I suspect, but not sure of, its failure to load the required USB drivers
in time for it to continue to load the remainder of the kernel etc.
Any thoughts which may help?
