    All was fine with my Mac formatted external HDD when using Parallel Desktop 7. Since upgrading, I cannot get PD9 to see me HDD at all. Its in the Devices list, at the top of the screen pull down menu, but when I select it and unselect it, it will not show in My Computer. Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Looks like you are trying to connect it as USB device. Windows won't mount Mac formatted partitions. Additional drivers are needed.
    Try to use shared folders engine (I believe you used it before with PD7).

    PS: Did I understand correctly that you are using Windows as guest as you trying to find your disk in "My computer".
    Meanwhile this part of forum called "Mac OS X Guest OS Discussion". I missed that.
