    Hi All

    I Am Unable to Mount a CD/DVD in the Finder while Running WinXP In A Parallels(3120 RC1)VM.
    The CD/DVD Mounts OK In The VM.

    My System:
    17" MacBook Pro C2D
    OS10.4.8
    Parallels 3120 RC
    WinXP (BootCamp) VM

    Is This A Normal 'Feature' of Parallels???
    If It Is How Do I Mount a Disk In the Finder While Running Parallels?

    I Have the Opposite Problem Trying to Use A USB Flashdrive.
    ie The Flashdrive Mounts in the Finder, But Not in the WinXP VM

    Any Advice/Assistence Would Be Much Appreciated.

    TIA

    You can't use devices simultaneously.
    If you want use device in Mac blocked Parallels - you can from menu "Devices" choose need device and put "Disconnect"
    If you want use device in Parallels blocked Mac - you can from menu "Devices" choose need device and put "Connect" or/and disconnect it from Mac put eject on the icon on Desktop.

    Hi Ksenks

    Thanx,

    That's Solved My 'Problem' With CD/DVD.

    I Still Have A Problem With My Flashdrive.
    The Flashdrive Mounts In the WinXP VM When I Select the USB Device,
    But the Folders On It Are Undetected.

    What Am I Missing?

    TIA
