Still curious how to obtain access to files "outside" the "Windows disk"?

Just upgraded from PD3.0 to 6.0. One of the virtual machine we have is for Windows XP. We have not used it in a few months since upgrading to Snow Leopard since PD3.0 would not work on it. One of the things we had set up from XP was some subst commands that allowed us access to the OS X file...

We have not upgraded from Parallels 3. It's unclear whether there is an upgrade from 3 to 6 (parallels site seems to imply only from version 4, which the nova development site seems to imply it's ok) or whether we have to pay the full price and install anew over 3? Please advise, thanks.

I don't know if it supports NFS mount's... anybody know?

And... can Plan 9 use the Mac filesystem in any way? (I suppose this is connected to getting networking working??)

I'm curious about installing Plan 9 under Parallels. There seems to be info on the internet but I cannot follow all of it. Does anybody know of up-to-date install instructions? I got so far as to get Plan 9 running under Parallels, however, it does not seem to have network going, and I'm...

Ok. Can somebody detail how to do the mount itself?

Also, if there is another way to "directly" access the OS X filesystem from Fedora, I'll be glad to hear about that too, so long as it will include "shell access" too (cd to it, etc).

I have a Fedora 7 core running. I've set up a network connection to my OS X disk and it can access through graphical folders with no problem. However, how can I get to the OS X filesystem though the shell? There is no mount point (at least from the mount command there is not). Also, I can...

I guess this is going OT re Parallels directly itself, but I'm somewhat unclear on what this means. For instance, if my hard drive goes bad, I thought I could use the "OS X disks" to "reinstall" everything. I hope that is so? OTOH, it sounds like you might be saying if your "OS X disk" go...

BTW, your underlying basic question still stands about accessing the CD. So I would suggest you play around with seeing how to connect and disconnect a CD to whatever you're running with Parallels, I assume Windows XP. And BTW, although I have not done so, there should be no reason that you...

I agree with everything David mentioned. I think it's fantastic you can get to install Parallels, etc, w/o knowing about what's going underneath, but especially if you're running a business you should try to see of some more basic info, or as David mentions, perhaps bring in a consultant for a...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but an issue is that this forum is not Parallels' tech support, so even though it is monitored by their staff, they are under no "obligation" to respond, although obvious it would be in their best interest to do so on a number of topics. I'm not trying to...

I dunno. FWIW, I have two systems each with their own license of XP Pro OEM and there is no technical problems over non-OEM that I know of. I know the OEM license does not let me change "the machine," but I don't have a problem with that. It would be nice for Parallels to clarify why the...

I can't say what I'm seeing is having any serious detrimental effect on what we do (huge compiles), although it is sluggish. But indeed this is one reasons we got MBP's, and hopefully it does not effect battery sessions. If we're running 8% on a quiescent PD, either Appllication Monitor is...

I've got latest build of PD 3.0. Recent threads show various folks reporting 50% CPU usage, etc. I find I have too. I have no idea what that means, because it doesn't make sense. Anyway, after checking XP's tasks which were only 1%, I unplugged all USB's and still made no difference. In...

Ok, thanks, I thought something like that -- fake CD -- was going on. Seems to me some transparent and more logical facility could be created to allow the tools' install for LINUX, as is done with Windows (in fact, Tools install was automatic for me under Windows despite that I thought the docs...

Can you tell us which kinds of USB devices "greatly" reduce CPU usage? Or is it all of them? I ask because I have a USB hub with a wireless mouse receiver, an ethernet dongle (only used to pass the mac address to licensing software), and 12GB SmartDisk, and these don't seem to effect it at...

Out of curiosity, what happens when we install the Parallel Tools for LINUX? As per the other thread, my Fedora 7 install was bumpy, but it seems odd to me to mount a read only disk to have to get the mouse and resizing to occur since it's not on the disk. Seems some sort of fake-out for some...

I installed 4560 with Fedora 7 last night and so far it does not seem to have hurt anything. 4560 claims time sync capability with LINUX. The clock under LINUX seems ok once my desktop comes up, dunno if this is the time sync feature of 4560 or not? Or should we specifically uninstall the...
