    I am using Parallels with Boot Camp and ever since I upgraded to Leopard I am unable to access the Boot Camp partition while parallels is running. I noticed before Leopard that when parallels would start to boot windows the boot camp partition would disappear and then reappear with a network drive icon instead of the standard hard drive icon. Now the icon disappears from the desktop like before but never to reappear. If I go to "Computer" in the finder I can see, "[C] Microsoft Windows XP but it has 0 items, Zero KB Available. If I shut down windows and close parallels the partition shows up again and I am able to browse it to view all of my files on it.

    I am running Build 5160 any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,

    do you have PD running a bootcamp partition or it uses just a separate VM?

    Best regards,
    Alicia.

    I'm not exactly sure what a PD is but I have installed parallels to use the boot camp partition; I do not have a separate VM

    BTW, this is happening on both mine and my girlfriends MacBook Pro, with Leopard.
