As of Build 3094 this is fixed -- as per the installation instructions, simply uninstall "Parallels Tools for Boot Camp" while booted into XP under Boot Camp, then boot MacOS, install Build 3094, and it installs the new Parallels Tools. Voila, now when you reboot back into Boot Camp, MacDrive once again is functional. Thank you Parallels!

I agree. Thanks!

It would help to read the entire thread before deciding to make holier-than-though remarks.

I have read the entire thread. Thanks for the insult, but my comment is still factually correct. And it's holier-than-thou if you want to spell it correctly.

I've already resigned myself to the fact that MacDrive or MacDrive-like functionality wiil not work in Parallels.

MacDrive cannot work, but MacDrive-like functionality is another matter. That can be made to work with enough development effort. The question was about MacDrive itself and that's what I was addressing.

In my last message I was questioning the previous poster if Parallels Tools insatlled on the Boot Camp partion screws up MacDrive in Boot Camp.

And I answered exactly that question, didn't I? In case I wasn't clear, MacDrive works fine now in XP under bootcamp (but not under bootcamp in Parallels which is a subject of some apparent confusion all over the forums)

And FYI, the Wish Lists forum is not exactly overruning with references to MacDrive. I've only found one other thread where MacDrive was mentioned, and even then it was mentioned only in passing.

And that was enough. They fixed the problem and it works now.

It's still a subject worthy of dropping (at least here), IMO anyway.
