    I have a windows XP laptop with ssd which i want to import into a virtual machine on my iMac with high sierra.
    Installed ist parallels 12.
    The Parallels Transporter Agent is running, and right after entering the code I receive the message on the Mac:
    "This PC can not be transmitted.... there was a failure checking the hard disk. Please run chkdsk /F and try again"
    The message is in German language.
    I assume the problem is the ssd. So what can I do do import this physical machine?

    Hi @ralfb1, Parallels Desktop does not support migrating Windows dynamic volumes. Parallels Desktop supports migrating computers with GPT partitions and EFI/UEFI starting from version 10. Please check out the best practices and hints before migrating Windows
