    Dear Friends,

    I have Paralles 5160 from 2 weeks ago, i was a pc user and a mac lover, so i buy a new macbook pro and parallels. my pc have a 150 hard drive with 3 particions (C,D,G) so i buy an external drive iomega and I use the transporter for the job, and everything was perfect, i have only one virdual disk and when i boot my pc i have my 3 partitions, all is in the iomega drive

    my problem is that that all the times i need to connect the usb external drive to use my pc, can i make my c partition in a separate hdd so i move to my mac hard drive and I can boot my pc without conecting my external drive?
    And what will be the behavior of having 2 hdd files?

    Thanks

    Elias

    Hello,

    it seems that you can't do that using Parallels. Perhaps it's possible with some exterior software to make a copy of only one partition.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.

    Hello,

    I suppose Acronis True Image can do this.

    Best regards,
    Alicia.
