Hi Ronni Thanks very much for your advice on this 'migration' issue. I did find this link while googling but it just wasnt clear to me Ronni. For example, can I use a firewire cable in T mode to just copy or 'import' the Bootcamp virtual drive partition on to the new mac, or actually do an 'import from within Parallels? Do I use their 'transporter' software to do it?
I guess I follow the section 'Importing Data from Boot Camp to a New Virtual Machine'? In this case will it import the Windows data files so that it will be running in Parallels or do I need to actually install windows XP in the 'New Virtual Machine' before I do the importing of data from Bootcamp on the other mac? Thanks heaps for your advice Ronni Chris On 16/04/2011, at 3:50 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > Import Boot Camp VM into parallels 6 > > Under Parallels Desktop 6 there is a new feature called "Import Boot Camp", > which can import your Boot Camp-based virtual machine into ordinary virtual > machine.
