    So,
    I'm trying to open a file on the parallels windows disk c: bootcamp. But, I can't access it. Finder has "Connected Servers" checked, and under Configure/Options/Sharing - have "access windows folders from mac", "mount virtual disks to mac desktop" and "share onedrive with mac", all checked.
    I try to write /Volumes in the finder and when windows is Shutdown I can get the bootcamp in the "Volumes" folder, and I can browse the files.
    When I start windows parallells, then the link to Bootcamp under Volumes disappear. I can find it again under "user"/documents/parallels/
    and I can rightclick-show package contents, and go to the "Windows Disks" folder there. but if I click on any of those listed drive letters I get: "The operation can't be completed because the original item can't be found".

    So, in conclusion, I can browse the files when the pareallles windows is not running (its on the "Click to start" screen), but as I click and start it, I can't access the files anymore.

    What is causing this and how do I fix it? Please help!
    Thanks! :)

    Edit: By the way, I am using version 9.

    Also, the disk I can't access was originally an ntfs bootcamp disk.
