Thanks but I think you are still not understanding my question. It wasn't about moving Windows 'applications' or 'volumes.' I wanted to know only whether the necessary 'operating system' files to run Windows in a Parallels VM on a Mac can be designated for migration (i.e., the OS and not...

Thanks. I had seen those articles. What wasn't clear was whether there is an option to migrate only the operating system and no other files. That is, can Parallels be instructed to migrate only Windows (including all supporting files necessary to make Windows run properly) but nothing else?

If your only copy of WINDOWS is one that came installed on a PC (i.e., you have both a PC and a Mac), what ways are there to get a copy of WINDOWS that can be used as a virtual machine within Parallels on the Mac? Thanks.

What sources, if any, does a user have for getting answers about Parallels Desktop answered without having to pay, if there are no replies to such questions in the forums here, or if the replies don't actually solve the problems? It's a bit much to expect a customer to solve all of his...

I haven't been able to figure out how to print to my HP Laserjet printer from my Windows VM. When the printer was detected by Parallels, I answered the dialog about whether to connect it to the Mac or the VM by selecting the VM. I then got the Hardware Wizard, which could not locate a...

Thanks. That does seem to work for opening a document in Word (in the VM) from the Finder. However, the option to select a 'default' application (including 'Change all') from "Get Info" did not seem to work as you described. The version of Word that was displayed had an .app extension, which...

If I upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard, what do I need to know about how Parallels 4.x will work under the new OS? Thanks.

I have two similar questions, both dealing with the Mac's defaulting to TextEdit when I would like MS Word to open instead: 1. How can I double-click on a .doc file in the Mac Finder and have it open in Word (in the Windows VM) instead of in TextEdit? 2. If I'm in a browser (e.g...

I'm a new user of Parallels, with Windows 2000 Pro as the guest OS, and I want to install MS Office 2000 from a CD (actually, two CDs). Apparently, this isn't as simple as opening the CD and clicking on the setup.exe file, because when I do that I get error messages ("can't find the program...

Thanks. Since I'm not familiar with the term "VM" (though I see it means "virtual machine"), I just want to make sure we're referring to the same thing. All I meant to inquire about was the following (beginner's question): • My understanding is that running Parallels requires one to...

No. What in my post made you think I was referring to Boot Camp?

Sorry for these questions but I'm brand new to Parallels (in fact, have not used it yet). • Is there any document here that explains 'how to' perform the required installation of Windows before using Parallels? Or does Parallels lead the user through that process when Parallels is first...
