Bootcamp: Parallels remaps drive e: to x: breaking links

Hello. I keep Windows on 1 Partition, and Windows programs on another (to keep the bootcamp partition size down.) However these program links are broken under Parallels as the external drive gets mapped to a different letter. I'm sure this has been covered before but I can't seem to find the knowledge base article.

I searched thru it pretty good as Parallels Custom Setup didn't like having more than 1 windows partition in the first place, and I had to find a way around that. But I can't find this issue. Any links or any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

bumpity..probably shouldn't have posted this Saturday morning

 

Any ideas? PVS file editing maybe? Is there a way to specify what letter a drive maps to?

 

Hello Jdriver,

Please sorry for loosing sight of this thread.
If I have understood your request correctly, you can do the following:

In your VM Configuration Editor open Shared Folders section and disable all automatic options for sharing Mac folders to Windows. Use "User-defined folders" option only and share the drives you need. You will see on Windows side the letters that you will define when sharing the drives.

Best regards,
Xenos

 

Thanks Xenos, I'll give it a try in the morning
