Hi, I recently ordered a Macbook Pro and was wondering how using Parallels to run the zune software would work? I currently own a zune and would like to continue using it once I get my mac.
I guess my main question is If I have all my music on a Fat32 external hardrive, would both Parallels and the OSx be able to access these files? I want to be able to have these files availble when not using Parallels, but also when I have my Zune software open.

Your FAT-32 external drive will be fully accessible (read and write) from either OS X or Parallels. So yes, you should be able to use your Zune.

Regards.
