    Hey people,
    I hope this is the right place to ask. I am using Parallels Workstation 2.2 on Linux, with Windows XP as my guest. I love the product, but the only problem I have is that USB doesn't work... and I installed XP to use a program having to do with USB devices... so this is a problem. My USB flash drive just won't mount. I think I know the problem. When I hover over the USB icon in the parallels, while running the VM, it says the device name is /dev/usb. I know this is wrong, since my USB devices mount ad /dev/sda1. :confused: How to I change the mount point? :confused: I have tried everything, with autoconnect on and off so I don't think that is a problem. Thanks in advance!

    One would think it would be extremely easy for them just to program something into the edit VM settins to tell the VM where the USB drive is mounted. If it weren't for this problem, I would buy parallels workstation... I'll just have to wait and see if they fix.
