Another option is to take the hard disk out of the PC, attach it to the Mac, create a Boot Camp virtual machine from it, then try the Import from Boot Camp menu item.
Do the Parallels logs say why it cannot be transferred to a Parallels virtual machine? Was the installation using an OEM version of Windows?
I have a daughter that wants to buy a P/C computer with Windows 7. She now has a Blue & White G-3 with 10.2.8. I have a I-Mac using Parallels 5 and also running Windows XP on the same computer
Question: Can we install Parallels into this P/C computer and have Macintosh 10.5.8 installed as a secondary application. I want to do the opposite in my daughter' s computer as I have in my I-Mac so she can run Windows & Macintosh
The Apple end user license agreement doesn't allow running Mac OS X on PC's or virtual machines so Parallels doesn't allow it. You are allowed to run Mac OS X Server on a virtual machine on Mac computers only.
