Although I have browsed through several threads here, I did not find an answer for my problem (hope I did'nt overlook something). I have an external USB harddisk attached to my Macbook Pro running Parallels Build 1980. The harddisk is visible to Mac OSX but when I try to activate it in Win XP, I get the error message that another process is usind the usb-device ... wait 5-10 seconds ... and so on. I already unmounted the disk from OSX and USB mounting is set to automatic in Parallels. I have my entire "old" Windows PC on this external USB disk and need to copy over to my new installation on the Macbook. What can I do??
You could try defining the USB Drive as a Parallels Shared Folder and navigating to it at "/Volumes/[USB Drive Name]" rather than actually directly attaching the drive to the Windows environment. Peter.
Ok, BUT in fact I have a TViX multimedia disk which is formatted in NTFS, so it is not recognized by Tiger...........so I cannot 'share' it in 'shared folders'....... Of course, I could format it in Fat32, but I really want to use more than 4 GB files, so NTFS has to be...... If you have another idea? anyway, thks a lot for your help Gilbert
