Sorry, this seems like it should be a basic question, so I suspect it's a dupe. But the forum search is not super helpful. Feel free to lock and point me to a better answer if one already exists.
I am running Parallels 10.1.1 on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite), with Windows 7 as the guest OS.
I have an external USB 2.0 hard drive. The drive has three partitions. 2 are Mac formatted, and one is a FAT32 formatted drive. The USB drive uses the MBR partition layout style.
What I'd like to be able to do is have the FAT32-formatted partition mount on Windows, and the Mac-formatted partitions mount on OSX. Ideally, I'd be able to have it differentially mount the partitions when the drive is connected. It would be acceptable to find a solution where I'd have to re-start the guest OS to make this work.
How can I make this work? I have no problem mounting the WHOLE drive under one OS or the other - I understand the general mechanism for mounting USB devices. But I'm at a loss to mount a single PARTITION of the drive on Windows without dragging the others along with it. Please advise?
