    I just had a look at their web site. they claim to run under Windows only. That leaves out Mac users unless they are runnng Parallels, whence it's unnecessary. What am I missing?

    A tool like this would allow you to change the mounted filesystems from within Windows on-the-fly, without having to shut down the virtual machine. It can also be used (in combination with MacDrive) to mount a Parallels image as a secondary hard drive while booted into Boot Camp.

    Have you found any other tools like this? I tried WinImage, but it couldn't read my virtual hard disk. I could mount it, but Windows said that it was unformatted. I assume that's because it's an expanding image.

    Well now, there's a good idea. If anyone finds a tool like that, I'd like to know about it. Maybe Parallels could (some day when the current list of probems is dealt with) provide such a tool (which would track any changes in their formats) it would be nice.
