    I had Parallels 4 and when I upgrade my Macbook, I was having a hard time installing XP, so I upgraded to Windows 7. When I did that, I couldn't see my C: drive on my Mac Desktop anymore. I thought that it was time to upgrade to Parallels 6. So i put down the cash and purchased Parallels 6. C: Drive is still not showing up on my Mac side.

    I have "Access Windows from Mac" and "Mount Virtual disks to Mac desktop" checked.

    I am using bootcamp as the drive for Parallels.

    Core i5 runs in 64-bit mode.
    Current MacFuse doesn't work in a proper way in 64-bit mode. It can couse Kernel Panic of the Mac

    Quote:
    An experimental build that fixes certain issues with Snow Leopard and 64-bit can be found here:

    http://static.caurea.org/MacFUSE/MacFUSE-2.1.7.dmg

    Remember, 2.1.7 is experimental. Use it at your own risk!

    You may also try to run in 32-bit mode:

    To switch your Mac OS in 32-bit mode permanently run in terminal:
    $ sudo nvram boot-args="arch=i386"
    and reboot your mac.

    Also you can press '3' and '2' keys on your keyboard together as soon as you press power button to start your Mac.

    I couldn't download 2.1.7. However, I found a link to 2.1.9. Installed, reset and the drive shows up. Thank you!
