    I have a few external HDD's connected to my Mac machine and every time I restart Windows on Parallels, all this drives get new random drive letters. Is there a way to force them to mount always in the same order?

    Hi,
    In addition to sharing macOS folders and drives to the virtual machine, Parallels Desktop lets you automatically or manually assign letters to them.
    To manually assign a drive letter to a shared Mac folder or volume on a Windows 11 virtual machine follow the steps in this article.
    Thank you.
