    Dear Parallels experts,
    I have a problem with an external USB HD and parallels. I had a parallels installed on my MacOs Tiger, with windows XP. The first time I plugged an external USB HD, it asked me if I wanted parallels to keep it or not. I answered yes by mistake. From that moment, when I plug my HD, my MacOs doesn't see it. I tried to uninstall Parallels, but my system doesn't see it still. I suppose there is some system file I should modify, but I have no idea on how to do that.
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks

    From the Devices menu in Parallels, uncheck the device from the USB list. There is also a configuration option when the VM is shut down to decide whether or not to automatically have the VM capture USB devices.
