    Using the latest beta build of parallels and having some problems with my 2 Lacie firwire drives. I've shared them with parallels, and then proceeded to map a network drive to each of the drives. After clicking finish and filliing in the //.psf/VolumeName information explorer.exe crashes. If i go to the network drive in my computer after its mapped and open it, explorer crashes.. if i use any program and try to access the drive.. explorer.exe crashes. I do see the window opening and my contents on the firewire drive are there.. just crashes explorer.exe right after that. Is this a known problem and even better are there any work arounds for this? Thanks!

    I am also having the same problem and hope that there is either a work-around or a fix soon.

    Unfortunately, I am unable to do any development work with Flash while working with files that exist on a Parallels Shared Folder. The way around that was to map a shared folder to a network drive. That worked for me for a short period in build 3120, but has caused crashes in Windows Explorer since then.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
