Parallels 9, Yosemite, and Shared Folders

I'm running Snow Leopard Server as a guest OS under Parallels 9 in Yosemite. Everything appears to be working OK except for shared folders, but no matter what I do, I can't get any shared folders to appear. I've tried reinstalling tools, restarting, manually configuring them, but no luck. The Shared Folders icon appears, but it has 0 items in it. I'm running the latest version of Parallels 9.

Has anyone run into this, or even better, has anyone found a solution?

Thanks!

 

Additional information: If I try and drag and drop a file from the Yosemite Desktop to Snow Leopard Server desktop, I get an error "The fatal error occurred while copying files. Copy operation is aborted."

 

As another note, I can't create a support ticket because it says it isn't registered (although it is activated). When I click to register I have to log in and then it asks for my address, but filling that out doesn't work because clicking Finish once I've entered it doesn't do anything. Tried it several times. What a frustrating support experience!

 

Hi J.C2,

Please submit a problem report ID here as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/en/9058

 

I have generated a problem report. The ID is 59263304.

 

Still no suggestions?

 

Apparently this is due to booting up off an external drive. When I tried it again off the internal drive, it worked. Maybe this will help someone else.
