Parallels and USB data sticks

I've successfully installed Parallels and WinXPPro.
I want to use a USB flash drive stick wossname (Kingston DataTraveller)
to backup and restore to Sage.
But I can't get the virtual machine to access it. I get a message within
the virtual machine that the device is being used by another application
and I should close that application or unplug the device and plug it in
again.
There isn't any application using it that I'm aware of and unplugging
etc makes no difference.
What am I missing here please?
