    Hi

    I have successfully imported Win XP image from VMWare and created new Win 7 image on my mac (Mac OS X 10.6.2 with Intel Core 2 Duo - 64 bit). I am trying to import an existing VMWare image of MS Windows Server 2008 x64 but every time I get the following message.

    "The operating system Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 cannot be configured to be bootable. All the selected volume will be migrated to Parallels virtual data disks. Are you sure to continue?"

    If i continue it creates an image which i can't boot. I have read on knowledge base about XP having same issue and it was suggested to copy some drives from Windows install CD but i do not know what's needed for 2k8. (http://kb.parallels.com/en/8358).

    Please help.

    Thanks.
