    I had a boot camp partition with some mapped some network drives. All was normal.

    I installed Parallels and used that Boot Camp partition as my virtual machine. While in Parallels, the mapped drives are showing up correctly.

    However now if I boot natively into Boot Camp, Windows tells me some drives are disconnected upon boot up and the mapped drives always show the Disconnected icon even though I can view their contents as if they are fully there.

    I'm concerned because Windows thinks they are disconnected and I've seen software in the past which will refuse to even look at a mapped drive when it thinks its disconnected.

    Even if I try to set up a new mapped drive, it will always look like it's disconnected even though I can view the files when clicking on it.

    I don't understand why the mapped drives look normal in Parallels but always have the Red X when in booting into boot camp. Please help.
