Hi guys,

Just bought my Parallels Desktop and my Windows 7 CD for my iMac and everything went well! Love the program, I just have one question though, I am aware how to adjust the Hard Drive's space via settings in Parallels Desktop but I do have an extra 1TB External Hard Drive and was wondering how i can use that as a dedicated hard drive for Windows 7; like that external hard drive will be hooked/connected/recognized as its own hard drive?

Thanks in advance guys :)

With the VM shut down, go to the Hardware tab in the VM configuration. Click the + sign to add a drive.

Or you could add the drive as a shared folder.
