OSX Unable To Mount CD/DVD While Running Parallels

[The Duelist]

Hi All

I Am Unable to Mount a CD/DVD in the Finder while Running WinXP In A Parallels(3120 RC1)VM.
The CD/DVD Mounts OK In The VM.

My System:
17" MacBook Pro C2D
OS10.4.8
Parallels 3120 RC
WinXP (BootCamp) VM

Is This A Normal 'Feature' of Parallels???
If It Is How Do I Mount a Disk In the Finder While Running Parallels?

I Have the Opposite Problem Trying to Use A USB Flashdrive.
ie The Flashdrive Mounts in the Finder, But Not in the WinXP VM

Any Advice/Assistence Would Be Much Appreciated.

TIA

You can't use devices simultaneously.
If you want use device in Mac blocked Parallels - you can from menu "Devices" choose need device and put "Disconnect"
If you want use device in Parallels blocked Mac - you can from menu "Devices" choose need device and put "Connect" or/and disconnect it from Mac put eject on the icon on Desktop.

Hi Ksenks

Thanx,

That's Solved My 'Problem' With CD/DVD.

I Still Have A Problem With My Flashdrive.
The Flashdrive Mounts In the WinXP VM When I Select the USB Device,
But the Folders On It Are Undetected.

What Am I Missing?

TIA
