Access Windows from Mac

Bit poster
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.
 
Dear breadman,

Would you please some specific information about your Mac and WIndows? the Core, architecture, etc
 
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

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

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!
