Share windows folders to Mac not working

Hello,

I've been using parallels for a while and upgraded 3.0 for the ability to share windows folders/disks from a running VM to the host Mac OS X environment. It works great on my wife's MBP. Her machine is set with a boot camp partition and when the VM is running, the C: drive shows up on the desktop. I have the identical config on my MacBook and the C: drive doesn't show up. The only difference between the two machines is that I installed Parallels 3 on hers, while mine was upgraded from 2.5. If anyone can provide help, I'd really appreciate it.

Below are the configs for the two machines

Host OS: 10.4.10
Parallels: 3.0.4128 (and other builds all the way up to 5060)
Guest OS: Windows XP SP2 with all patches
Networking: Shared networking
Windows Firewall: On
Mac OS X Firewall: On

Thanks
 
Try this:
Shut down your VM (if running)
In the Parallels Menu, click "Edit/Virtual Machine"
Click on "Shared Folders"
Make sure there is a check mark by "All Windows Disks" and "Mount Virtual Disks on Mac Desktop"
 
Would file system type have anything to do with it?

Does it make a difference if the filesystem is NTFS or FAT32 in parallels' ability to mount it to guest os?

Thanks
