    I installed build 3094 on my Macbook. I installed the VM for my xp bootcamp Fat32. Then I needed to reboot the computer again into OS 10. Then start up Parallels bootcamp VM. I just had to be patient while booting into xp bootcamp from parallels. I think I needed to click a mouse button 1 time. I did need to reactivate Windows but only 1 time in parallels. I used the keyboard to select 'no' to the 1st time because the mouse wasn't working at that point yet. Parallels installed everything in about 10 minutes and then it rebooted. I then reactivated Windows by calling Microsoft. Everything seems fine.

    2 small issues.

    1. Not everytime I try to start bootcamp in parallels works. I get an error message 'Unable to open disk image Boot Camp'. I have 2gb ram and I'm allocating 512mb to bootcamp. But if I restart the computer it will work.

    2. I need to enter a Mac password 1 or 2 times before booting parallels bootcamp. And sometimes once after shutdown of parallels bootcamp.

    I then booted the computer into Bootcamp all was perfect. I didn't need to reactivate in bootcamp. I haven't noticed any problems.

    I've noticed a problem. I have all my downloads on bootcamp Fat32.

    Before in build 1970 (with parallels NOT running) I could COPY & MOVE files while in OS 10 from Bootcamp to anywhere. Now in OS 10 (with parallels NOT running) I can only read & write those files. I did try repairing permissions and I do have permission to read and write to the bootcamp partition. But for some reason since installing build 3094 I can no longer COPY & MOVE (or DRAG & DROP). The only way I can do this now is by opening parallels bootcamp or rebooting the computer into bootcamp.

    Please fix this for those who would like to take advantage of Fat32 files (drag & drop) without running Parallels all the time. As I mentioned it was working in build 1970.


    Update:

    *This problem only seems to happen 'during and after' running Parallels bootcamp*

    After rebooting the computer the problem does not happen until I restart parallels bootcamp and it continues after I shut it down.
