Im having a problem sharing a folder from parallels to a XP VM (Service pack 2). I share the folder and give it a label of "Mac Drive".

I then open Parallel shared folders in the XP virtual machine... it lists my "Mac Drive" but when I double click on it I get

\\.PSF\Mac Drive is not accessible (then the usual message about contaction the administrator) and it finishes with the

"The filename, directory name, or voluma label syntax is incorrect"

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Click to expand...

Did you install this in the Parallels console under shared folders?

Okay sorted it... but not sure if its the right solution... I've started using the ip adress of the host from the File Explorer/Map Network drive and this appears to solve the issue.. not sure if this is the issue | didn't approach the problem in a scientific fashion... I just changed a whole lot of things... and got it to work
