I'm having no success, so maybe someone can give me a clue: I cloned my Mac OS10.10.2 to a new hard drive which was external, and then swapped that with the old internal drive (which has a BootCamp partition, with with I've been using Parallels 9). I wanted to find a way as easy as that Mac clone, to get my Windows 7 system and programs and files into the new hard drive which is now the internal drive in my MBPro (13", mid '09). I hoped the Transporter/Migration system in Parallels would do it - the instructions seem easy - but both migrating thru an external drive and trying directly through the network of Windows with the Mac side (via Parallels) were failures. In both cases, after a long time of working, when it looked finished, it stopped transferring files and gave an error message re: activation. The Windows is activated, as is Parallels. The (partial?) .hdd file created was unopenable by Parallels, it was about 36 GB in size.
I hate to start from scratch and install all my Windows programs, update, and transfer all files by hand, but I don't see another way. Is there an easier way? Help!
