Okay i am stupid, i turned off the OS and went to change settings :) from looking in /dev it appears my parallel port is /dev/parport0 I ran chgrp users, chown bob, and chmod 666 on /dev/parport0 ... when i try and start windows in vmware it says it cant open /dev/parport0 permission denied ... any ideas?

Also i have an 8 gig partition on my disk that i use for mp3's is there a way to have VMware see that partition as an extra drive and write to it and have it mounted in linux so i can play my MP3's? i need it to do that because i use KaZaa to download my mp3's(the spyware free version) and havent been able to get it to work in wine =/ Thanks in advance for any help.
