    Little bro is having trouble getting his USB drive recognized by XP running in parallels.

    He's trying to release it in OSX, for some reason.

    I know very little about MACs or I'd help him directly. Just curious if anyone has some things to check, or tips to get it working.

    Thanks

    What do you mean by recognised? Has he tried selecting the USB device to be connected to the Virtual Machine using the icons at the bottom right corner of the Parallels VM window?
