No operating system after using Transporter

I have a VMware Fusion 1.0 virtual machine that I ran the Mac Parallels Transporter on. This created the Parallels equivilant virtual machine but when I attempt to start the virtual machine it fails telling me that I have no operating system.

I used the Parallels Transporter on a different VMware virtual machine and it worked correctly. Any idea on what to look for with the first virtual machine not being "transported"?
 
I open the Parallels Transporter application.
I click Continue
I select "Advanced Migration Mode", then click Continue
I select "From virtual computer", then click Continue
I select "Entire virtual computer", then click Continue
I select my VMware Image, then click Continue
I go with the default destination folder, then click Continue
I then click Migrate
After the migration completes, without any errors, I select to open the Parallels VM.
The VM starts, then reports "There is no operating system installed in the virtual machine".
 
Hello,

after the migration you should create a new VM using .hdd image created by Transporter.
Did you do this?

Best regards,
Stacey
 
It did not allow me to do this, after the migration finished of the VMware VM I did the following:

I close the Parallels VM.
I open Parallels Transporter
I click Continue to the Introduction
I select Advanced, then click Continue
I select "From virtual computer", then click Continue
I select "Entire virtual computer", then click Continue
I select the Parallels .hdd file, then click Continue
I'm told "You have chosen the virtual machine of unknown type".

I'm stuck there.
 
Please provide us with Transporter log files on vireports@parallels.com with subject 'Transporter Problems' to investigate this problem more detail?

Log files of Parallels Transporter and Parallels Transporter Agent locate on:
