I have an external NTFS hdd connected to my Mac via USB. I understand that I can only read this drive in OS X/can't save anything to it, and that's fine. But it seems this behavior is carried through into Parallels! I have this drive set up as a shared folder, and just like in OS X I can access its contents, but cannot write to it. That's a bit of a disappointment, as my intent is to use this drive to work with Windows files. Is there a way writing to an external NTFS partition can be enabled in a Parallels VM?
