Mapping Local drive on Mac as Local drive in Windows.

Hi All,

I've just replaced the DVD drive in my MBP with another 500GB SSD. I've got is shared in the Windows 7 guest, which windows see as a network drive.
The issue is I need to install dropbox onto this drive and Dropbox refuses to move the files to a "network location". It's not actually a network location but windows thinks it is.

Is there anyway I get Parallels to share this drive as a local rather than network?

Thanks,
Finn.

Hi FinnG. Mac's drive will be listed only as a network drive in the Windows virtual machine and the Windows drive will be listed under 'Shared Devices' on Mac side. It is not possible to configure Mac's drive as a local drive in the Windows virtual machine. Also, you can install the Windows programs only on the Windows drive.
