USB flash drive mounting

On Lion, when attaching a USB flash drive I would get the pop up asking which machine to mount it to, Mac or Win VM. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I get the same pop up, but OS X already mounted the drive and it will cause an error if I choose Windows. Before the upgrade, OS X didn't mount it anywhere until I made a choice. As a workaround, I eject the drive in Finder, then mount the USB drive from the VM menu.
 
I am also facing same Problem.....Please help!!!!!!!

Same issue here as well

Running:
- Mountain Lion 10.8.2
- Parallels Build 7.0.15106 (Revision 786747; August 3, 2012)
- Windows 7 running off Bootcamp partition
 
I have this exact issue also. As with nycmike, OS X mounts the USB flash drive before I've responded to the pop-up, resulting in the following message when you choose to use it in the guest OS:

Do you want to disconnect the Generic USB2.0 card #2 device from your Mac?

This device is in use by your Mac. For the device to be connected to the virtual machine, it should be forcefully disconnected from your Mac, which might cause data loss or corruption.

OS X ML 10.8.2 with supplemental update 1.0; Mac mini 2011; latest version of Parallels a/o this post; Windows XP SP3 guest OS.
 
Any update?

Having the same issue here. Feel like it happened once before many versions ago and it was fixed in an update. Anyone got anything on this one?

Thanks,
BK
