[QUOTE="killawattz, post: 340075, member: 19096"] I just parallels desktop for mac, and i have it running off of my boot camp partition. I want it to recognize my USB hard drive (formatted as FAT32) that I have connected to my macbook. At first it wouldn't recognize it at all, so I went into OSX and ejected the drive, then I unplugged it. I restarted Windows in Parallels, then plugged the drive back into the computer. I got a message saying that the USB device was already in use by another application. Windows started to recognize it, then it told me that the USB device may not work properly, and it still won't show up in my computer. Can anyone help me get Windows to recognize my USB HDD? PS I have parallels set to connect with USB Devices automatically. [/QUOTE]
