Disappearing Shared folder in OS X 10.7 VM

Hello All,

I have been having problems over the past couple days, but probably since i have been running this vm (2 months), regarding shared folders. I have two shared folders connected to my host which seem to disappear within 5-10 minutes of accessing files off of them. I cannot manually connect to the server folders, the only solution seems to be to reboot the vm. Anyone have any suggestions. I don't have problems with any other vm's except this one (which is also the only one running osx) Parallels tools is installed and has been updated.

Thanks

 

Try to reinstall Parallels Tools as a first step: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4841

 

I am having this same problem with a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.5 VM running in Parallels 9.0.23350.941886 running in s Snow Leopard 10.6.8 host. Reinstalling Parallels tools did not fix it. Any ideas on how to get the VM to retains access to shared folders from the host?

Also, when I start a Windows VM, its hard drive mounts in the host Mac environment, but that does not happen for a Mac VM. How do I see the virtualized Mac's hard drive in the host OS? I need the sharing working both ways, and now it only half works one way.

Thanks
