External HD unable to run in Parallels 11

Hello, thanks for report, however there is no boot flag...

I re installed the boot flags and most of the USB 3 drives now mount properly.
Thanks

Thank you Marat. This worked: Configuration > Hardware > Boot order > Advanced Settings > Boot flag:
devices.sfilter.enable=0

External HD now working in Parallels 11 with Parallels 11 Tools.

Hi guys,
Please check the issue after setting a boot flag:
Open VM configuration (http://kb.parallels.com/en/117287 ) > Hardware > Boot order > Advanced Settings and paste the following string in Boot flags textbox:
devices.sfilter.enable=0

If it doesn't help, kindly collect a new problem report once after the issue is reproduced: http://kb.parallels.com/en/9058
paste here report ID number
