What to do when the VM Config fails!

Hi

I have XP's hard drive running from an exernal USB hard drive, which is 4GB in size.

I've added a 2nd hard drive to my XP configuration within Parallels, also on the external USB drive, which is also 4GB.

When XP boots, only the first drive (that XP's installed on) is every seen inside XP, the second drive isn't available.

Is there something else I have to do enable it, or is this simply a symptom of running everything of the eternal drive?

Here are some pics which explain:

Adding a .hdd file to your VM is like adding a physical disk to your hardware XP machine. It needs to be formatted and assigned a drive letter in XP.
