Getting a Boot Camp Partition into Parallels...

[MattH3]

Anyone able to assist with this non-standard query.
I have 40 iMac's setup with Mac, Win 10 and Win 7 via Bootcamp in a Training Room environment.
I want to be able to capture the Windows 7 partition and use it in Parallels.
So far:
the Import Boot Camp option just fails with an error
Parallels Transporter Agent from the PC fails on both the external drive and IP address options
Creating a VHD of the Partition and trying the prl_convert utility fails...

I know my setup is not what Parallels is made for so I kinda expected these errors, so does anyone have any other bright ideas on how to get it into Parallels (latest V11 for Mac)?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi, Check your Windows hard disk for errors:
Start Windows Boot Camp, Right-click on your drive (Local Disk C) > Properties > Tools tab > Error Checking > Check > Scan drive and reboot Windows to proceed.
Once the scan is completed, boot on the Mac side and check if you are able to create a Boot Camp Windows in Parallels Desktop for Mac.
