How do I take files from parallels, and use them on OS X?

[dementian27]

How can I take a file/folder from windows XP in parallels and make it accessible in OS X? Thanks for any help.

Copy the files into an OSX directory while the guest is running, using either shared folders, or a network connection between the host and guest.

There is currently no way I know of to read a virtual disk when the guest isn't running.

That is the stupidest question I have ever read.

Just joken.

You should have a "Parallels Shared Folders" icon on your xp desktop. Just select the files to copy, do ctrl+c, or copy from the edit menu, then browse into shared folders and do ctrl+v or paste from the edit menu.

Lol Thanks, but I don't have that folder.

Well now, it may be possible that I forgot to mention a crucial piece of information.

In Parallels configuration, you need to add at least one folder in the "Shared Folders" section.

If you're ever past my place, stop in for a free beer to make up.
