Migration from PC where Transporter runs aborts half-way Hello, I have installed the Windows version on my PC. (Not a Mac owner yet, will be in a few days and I'm preparing.) I installed the programs, rebooted, ran Transporter and asked it to migrate the boot partition of the PC to a VM file on an external hard drive. Roughly half-way through the operation halts with an "aborted" message. Is this due to migrating the boot partition where Transporter is running ? If not, what might help ? Thanks ! |

Enhancement Request I would like to make a request. I just went through the process of downloading a WinXP virtual PC image from Microsoft and then attempted to use Transporter to convert it to a Parallels image. Then, I found I had to download and install the Windows version of Transporter and run the conversion there. Since my intension is to migrate my computing to OS X & Parallels virtual systems, the thought of needing to maintain a real WinXP system to support a version of Transporter that will do image conversion is not to pleasant. PLEASE add the image conversion function to the OS X version of transporter. Please and thank you. |

I am sure that this q has been asked before (and may even have been answered) so pl excuse my ignorance. Is it possible to take my current Win XP install (toshiba laptop) and make a Bootcamp image out of it that i can use with parallels ? Or even take a parallels image and convert it into a bot camp image ? |

I think this was already asked But i'm not sure if there was an answer. So here we go, Everything is installed on the my macbook pro and is waiting for the information from my old pc. Now when I run the transporter on the Source computer it takes me through the setup and it asks where I'd like to migrate the files from. I select from this computer and click next. All going just fine you might say, but this is where it all blows up. So after about ten seconds of "Please wait while Parallels transporter collects the information." The window changes to an error message which says "unable to initialize data on source computer." I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. please if someone could help this poor old soul out it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if this has already been answered and I missed it but please help me out here. Thanks in advance. |

Stuck on "Boot from hard drive..." After using Transporter to migrate my Windows XP laptop, I'm stuck on the above. I tried: - Pressing ENTER & clicking in the VM window = No joy (N/J) 1. Changed the CD/DVD-ROM 1 option to Connect to Default CD 2. Inserted a Recovery CD (returns system as from the factory) 3. Pressed on Actions->RESET & Yes= No joy Tried 1-3 above with a OEM generic Windows XP CD= No Joy Any suggestions? PS: Can I just trash the "migrated folder" with Transporterx.hdd & winxp.pvs? I have a bad set since I should've used Advanced since my IBM Thinkpad is partitioned. PPS: Tim, suggest you make your Announcement Sticky |
