mounting USB disk question
I am running Parallels Build 3170 on a mac book pro. My installs and upgrades have been with out problems and it just works as advertised.

My question is more; am I doing this right.

I have a USB disk formatted in FAT32 which I can see on the Mac desktop.

I start up parallesl and it come up as expected and no errors.

To mount the USB drive I have to go to Devices/USB and click on "usb to ata/atapi bridge"

I get a Mac window that says "The device you removed was not properly put away. Data might have been lost......". If I click ok or just wait the message goes away and the disk is mounted and I can read/write from/to the disk.

To disconnect the disk I just go to Devices/USB and unclick "usb to ata/atapi bridge" and after a minute it will appear back on my Mac desktop.

1) Am I mounting the USB disk correctly? If no what do you suggest.

2) If I had multiple disk how would I be able to determine which disk goes with which "usb to ata/atapi bridge".


Thanks for your help.

Robert
