Can't access XP drives from Mac

Greetings.

The problem I'm having is that I can't access my XP drives from the Mac side. Everything works fine the other way, and in Shared Folders I have "All Mac Drives" and "All Windows Drives". Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thank you.

 

More information

I just reinstalled Parallels, and when I started it I got this message:

"The system extension '/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used...."

Does Parallels require fusefs.kext? I don't seem to have it.

Thanks.

 

Antivirus on Mac OS side may prevent kext installation
Disable antivirus perform permissions repair and install macfuse from http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
Restart Mac OS

 

I did all of that a couple of times, but I'm still getting the same error. I know MacFuse did install:

<KSTicket:0x115580
productID=com.google.filesystems.fusefs
version=1.7.1
xc=<KSPathExistenceChecker:0x112d00 path=/>
url=http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CurrentRelease.plist
creationDate=2008-09-24 09:55:19 -0600>

The MacFuse forum suggested this is a Parallels problem. Is it? Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Hi, what version of Parallels do you run? The new build of PD (5608) regularely doesn`t have any problems with MacFuse. The previous ones had. http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/v3/en/GA/Parallels-Desktop-5608-Mac-en.dmg

 

I have 5608. Thanks!

 

More info. (I am a recovering PC-aholic and got my first Mac in June. I am learning OS X as I go.) fusefs.kext is there, but it is in a bundle. Does that make a difference?

 

It is a bundle , as all kexts.
I believe some software prevents installation of MacFuse, what software do you have?

 

MacFuse is installed. But Parallels doesn't seem to know that.

Thanks!

 

Could you list software you are using on Mac OS?

 

Sure. iChat, iMail, Firefox 3, Stickies, CopyPaste Pro, Time Machine, and Mozy backup.

 

No antivirus software running?

 

No, I disabled it before installing MacFuse and have not reenabled it.

 

Sorry, what do you mean disabled antivirus, so you have antivirus installed on Mac?

 

Yes, I have iAntiVirus.app, but it is not running. I removed it from the list of programs that start automatically, and I haven't run it since before I installed MacFuse.

 

Service for antivirus I guess is till running you can check for it in Console application in system.log

 

The only appearance of "antivirus" I could find were a couple of illegal arguments on 19 Sep in windowserver_last.log. One odd-looking thing is that com.apple.InternetSharing exits immediately with exit code 1 and then restarts again in 10 seconds - repeatedly - but that shouldn't be relevant, should it?

 

I got rid of the InternetSharing thing. Still no mention of antivirus. I'm pretty sure it isn't running.

 

Can you put here zipped system.log from Console.app?

 

The file is a bit large, so I put it here. Thank you.
