Hello Peter
Thanks for the response

The drive is formatted NTFS

Not sure if Parallels sees the drive but when I go to Computer in W7 it's not there.(Can't check because I'm backing up via Contro:Mac.

Shouldn't W7 make it active when I plug it into a USB port?

I really want to use Control:PC because Sooloos is so Windows centric...

Actually, is there any difference between a Control:Mac and Control:PC backup?
I'm using Control:Mac to backup to an NTFS formatted drive so I'm thinking there is no difference.
