    Done a search, to no avail...

    I've noticed that when Parallels is running (XP SP2), it hogs the SuperDrive...disks mount no probs in XP, but OS X acts as if the drive isn't there...

    Is this expected behaviour, or Have I got my settings screwed up?

    Ta,

    Along the bottom of the Parallels window, there a few icons (network, CD, USB, etc) - use the icon to turn off Parallels access to the Superdrive, and OS X will get access back.

    Thanks, rnb2...

    Knew it must have been summat simple...hopefully the drive can be shared in later versions...
