    I had download the newest beta of paralles for its coherence feature, but I was happy to see that it supported boot-camp. :)

    I am running XP professional. Parallels had installed its tools after some windows issuse, but that was to be expected. windows still has some issue with LiveCare but it always has issues with LiveCare. I am running on a macBook Pro pre 64 bit, with a western digital USB portable external drive. The drive is formatted for windows in FAT 32.

    Here is the issue, Boot Camp is installed on the primary drive in a partition created by boot camp, The other apps are installed to a mapped drive - F: . How do i get boot camp to see this external drive?

    In the Parallels Configuration, set shared folders to your external drive.

    That worked great. I just opened the shared folder and right clicked the shared folder/drive and mapped the network drive to F: Thanks again
