10.4: Migrate a Boot Camp partition into Parallels Desktop
Authored by: cmittendorf on Mar 11, '07 04:28:50AM

It's much simpler than it is described in the post mentioned in the hint. I simply ran my XP in Parallels from the bootcamp partition and used Parallels Transporter which you an grab from the Parallels homepage. Then run the Transporter client on your Mac, it wil detect the Transporter server on XP running in virtualization. It then simply creates a new Parallels VM using the data and the disk from the running bootcamp vm.

10.4: Migrate a Boot Camp partition into Parallels Desktop

This just worked for me after several failed attempts. I just kept clicking migrate after getting an error message, and eventually (after maybe 7 or 8 times?) it worked. This was with build 5582 of Parallels Desktop for Mac and build 1456 of Parallels Transporter installed within Windows XP.
