Is it possible to do a "reverse transporter" somehow? I want to take my parallels image and put it onto a boot camp partition. I've discovered that my Sprint EX720 EVDO card won't do some of the updates to itself under parallels. So I figured if I can transfer everything to BootCamp, I should be able to get the best of both worlds. I do not now have a Bootcamp partition. I figured I could make a partition and then expand the disk image onto that drive using disk utility, but then the drive would need to be FAT32 and not NTFS as OS X can't write to NTFS. So I figured I'd ask here. I'd really rather not do a complete windows install just to be able to update my EVDO card... Thanks, Jon
You should be able to do so from within windows using Acronis TrueImage. I use it on my PCs all the time. There is no reason this shouldn't work in parallels and/or bootcamp. Single licence of that utility is around 50$. What could happen to you after migration is a windows driver and activation hell - so be careful... If you're not a too experienced windows tech guy you better have one at range.
Just dump your Parallels tools prior to the back-up and keep the install CD on hand for after a restore. You will have a BootCamp driver CD to keep the Hell a little cooler.
Thanks, Guys. I think I'll try this. Do you have to have Bootcamp installed first (ie: Windows fully installed) or just the disk partitioned and formatted (I interrupted my Windows install on the Bootcamp partition)? Thanks, Jon
