I'm finding running win xp in parallels very useful on my macbook (before, used boot camp, which of course is a lot less convenient) My question relates to a specific piece of software I use in windows, with which I need to write to a floppy disc. I have an external USB floppy drive, but the software app I use can only write to it if it is the A drive. I was able to do that no problem with boot camp, but in parallels, win xp seems to only want to call the ext floppy the B drive, and even though nothing else is connected it seems to think there already is something labelled A drive, and when I open it, it has one file in it, called "IGT", which is an executable file (although nothing happens if I double click on it, and I don't know what it is) Any ideas? I tried going into the device manager, and removed the A drive, then tried plugging my ext floppy into the usb port, but that didn't work. thanks for any advice, Neil
