    I purchased Parallels Desktop 5 for MAC. I installed Transporter on my Win7 32 bit machine. I used the network to migrate my entire hard drive to the MAC. I see an .hdd file that was created by the migration. I don't see any other files like a .pvm file that is supposedly required to view the virtual machine that was created by the migration process. I have tried "opening" the .hdd file but can only browse the files through Finder.

    I cannot figure out how to create the virtual machine with my .hdd file so I can view it in the virtual machine window. This should be simple. I can't figure out what I'm missing. I was told to "load Transporter on both machines, do the migration, and voila - you can view your new virtual machine". How do you open the .hdd file in the virtual machine window? I've tried "import", but when i point to the .hdd file, I get a message that "the file is already a virtual hard disk and doesn't need to be converted". I don't have a .pvm file that was supposed to be created with the migration process. So I don't know how to open the .hdd file. What did I do wrong? What am I missing?
