[QUOTE="Jrstrdr, post: 426506, member: 33487"] Hey cwa107, Thanks for replying so quickly. Just a little remarks for clarification. 1) So what if I want Mac OS X to recognize my NTFS-formatted external hard drive. Would I have to start Parallels, mount the NTFS drive in the VM, and use the drag and drop functionality from there? 2) Ok...I understand about installing Bootcamp first. When you say "virtually plugged in the USB device," are you referring to what I described above in #1. Mounting the device with Parallels. 3) Wow. This sounds a bit surreal. So by starting Windows XP (bootcamp installed) through Parallels would still provide drag and drop capability? 4) Interesting...if this is the case, why would anyone want to format Windows XP in FAT then? NTFS doesn't limit you to 32gb drive or the 4gb file size. It is also far more secure. 5) Just for clarification, by "normally" you mean without Parallels or the help of any other utility. [/QUOTE]
