OK, my mistake, the only way to transfer files between Parallels and OSX is by creating a shared folder and doing it that way, so that you put whatever files in the shared foleder in eith OS and then its ready for use in the other...

Can't be done dude, you need to own a Mac, Apple doens't license out its OS to crappy PC, you need a Macf to run OSX then use Parallels for Mac there. Trust me, you won't regret switching!

@Luke

You use Parallels preferences to designate a folder as "shared". Here's a folder called "Delt", Norwegian for Shared, in - exactly - /Users/Shared/ which I've designated as a Shared folder in the VM's Configuration Editor.

Thats the best I can find at the mo...

so parallels isn't an actual virtual machine? It's full access to hardware? Meaning for example, you could install and use SEUS in the Windows side? Or FAR?

EDIT: Hmm, it's actually a Virtual Machine. Some user's of VMWare running Windows (another maker of VM software) in linux, find that the linux host os wakes up the phone when it is plugged into the usb port, preventing the virtual machine from being able to flash to the phone (since the phone has to remain in service mode).

So I think the Windows OS running in the Parallels VM is not running direct off hardware - it's running on virtual hardware created by using the host os (so if the host os has a fault, so will the VM). One VM is "parallel" to any other VM, but not parallel to the actuall host OS itself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can run 2 OS's at the same time on the same hardware, unless one is a primary os and the other is in a virtual machine. This means problems with the Host OS can compromise all running VM's

Well, Parallels has good reports, and I've read 90% efficiency of original hardware within a Virtual Machine, that's very good. But Games always requires the very best of your hardware so that extra 10% is needed!
