    How are the disks connected?

    Have you read the manual?

    In Parallels, go to the File menu, and Edit Configuration. Check that there are three disks configured. If not, click on the add button, and follow the wizard through to configure them, one at a time.

    What type of card are the disks connected to?

    hi I was talk about my host drivers

    I tried setup a SHARES FOLDERS but I can't see in virtual machine,
    Viewing Shared Folders
    To view the contents of the shared folders in the guest OS:
    1 Start the virtual machine.
    2 Open Windows Explorer.
    3 In the Explorer, select My Networks Places, then select Entire Network, and find the Parallels Shared Folders.
    4 Click the Parallels Shared Folders to view the list of shared folders available in your virtual machine.

    but nothing there

    Now he says a shared folders problem.

    If they were setup correctly, you would see them. If you can't see them, then they are not setup correctly.

    All the information you need is in the manual.

    I am writng the same answer several times a day

    PD Menu >> devices >>Shared Folders >> add

    I have all my HD volumes and the Mac desktop
    9 items shared

    the one called .home is the drag and drop place
    the period means it is an invisble folder to the Mac OS
    just drag and drop a file from mac desktop to the windows desktop and see what happens

    In Finder I use spotlight to find stuff in the shared folders
    (click "open in finder")

    I enter either from the file menu of a WinXp app or
    by double clicking the Parallels shared folders icon on the WinXP desktop

    enjoy

    So there you go. If you ever purchase yourself a mac then you'll be good to follow Mr Watkins' instructions.

    However since you have xp host, and xp guest, that info would pale into insignificance.

    They not only invade the general forums, they also post useless/misleading stuff in totally inappropriate forums. Glad to see you're still trying to hold down the nonsense constant!
