Hi Daniel and Ronni Thanks for the details from the manual. It seems now I need a 'Parallels USB cable' to do the migration of the Bootcamp Windows contents from the 'source' mac to the 'host' mac.
I have never heard of this cable, so do you know where I can pick one of these up, or can I just use a normal USB to USB Cable, if there is such a thing? I now what you meant a while ago Daniel saying that this transfer is very messy!
