if I want it to be automatically connecte3d to the virtual machine
Microsoft Windows 2000.  I click on Yes and confirm that the Flash Disk
is checked on the USB icon.  But I cannot find the Flash Disk under My
Computer or Windows Explorer.

Perhaps this is more of a Windows problem, but since I am pretty
clueless in such things, I am asking for help in what I have to do
either with Parallels and/or Windows 2000 so I can install (and use the
USB key) for my new application.  I thought that USB devices such as the
Flash Disk would be plug-and-play.  But that may be part of my Windows
cluelessness.

I am about to have a new bald spot from scratchig my head on this one.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the help.
Could be windows or os x/parallels

OS X will sometimes mount the USB drive and not release it to
parallels, although this was more common with parallels 2.0 in my
experience. If that is the case just unmount it in OS X and it should
appear in your vm.

Sometimes windows will assign a drive letter to the USB drive that is
already in use. In windows click start > settings > control panel.
In control panel go into administrative tools and launch computer
management. In computer management click on disk management, find
your USB drive in the list and right click on it and choose change
drive letter and assign it a drive letter that is not in use.

Hopefully it's one of those two things. If neither works, see if the
usb drive mounts on the OS X side without parallels running.

Cheers
