Hi, is there a way to "import" or use VPC disk image with Parallels Workstation? Very interested in the product but I don't want to loose too much time to "recreate" my virtual PC system + applications...
I want to add to this request the ability to import VMWare virtual machines. I have a Windows XP VMWare VM that I've spent quite a bit of time configurating and I would like to be able to import it and use it with Parallels running on OS X.
Add me to this wish list too Part of the nice thing about migrating from OS X on PPC to OS X on Intel is being able to get rid of Virtual PC. Now if I could bring over the VPC7 disk image file from MS VPC on Mac, you'd have a sale. Also, being able to bring over a Virtual Server file would basically eliminate the need to run all these different virtualization programs. Here's hoping...
You could use something like Acronis TrueImage to create an image from a running guest in VMware or VPC that could then be restored to a Parallels guest.
Acronis doesn't work I was running Acronis True Image for my backup on my PC laptop and recently switched to OS X and Parallels. I tried restoring the Acronis image to a new parallels instance and it fails throwing some error about "unable to see boot device." I suppose this makes sense as it's different hardware and Acronis is doing a bit-for-bit restoration of the harddrive. I would be very interested if anyone comes up with a solution for migrating a VPC image into Parallels. sean
