Running MAc OS 10.5.6 and Parallels 3 build 5608 and Windows XP HE SP2. I can insert my USB 2.0 flash drive and the window pops up with these words: Parallels has detected a ZUSB device Vendor 0204-Composite. So you want this device to be automatically connected to the virtual machine Windows XP? I click YES and it disappears from the Mac desktop. If I click "My Computer" in XP, all my drives show as icons including the flash drive which shows up as Removable Disk (E):. Now I want to put a Windows file on it, but as soon as I drag the file icon on top of the Disk (E) another little window pops up and says Insert disk into Drive (E) (and there is no file transferred). ????? HELP! PS. if you could send a copy of your post to me please thanx ghostridr2ataoldotcom
 
from John@Parallels:
Can you see files, without copying on E drive?"

I'm not sure what you mean. When I first got it back from the bookkeeper it had one 15 MB Quickbooks (windows) file on it (she has a PC not a Mac). I could see the file on it when it popped up in my Finder on the Mac, but could not see the file (in XP) when I opened Windows XP via Parallels. I tried to drag another 20MB QB file onto the 128MB flash drive while in XP, but was never successful.
