Restore from Time Machine backup

[Tnrchrds]

I have a new MacBook Pro. I loaded from a full back up on Time Machine from my old iMac.

My VM of Windows XP is working fine but the VM of Windows 7 has a question mark instead of the start button. When I click on it it says:

The Virtual Machine is not available

"The virtual machine's files have been moved or deleted. If the files are on an external device, reconnect the device. You can also remove the virtual machine from the list or manually locate its files."

How can I restore that VM to what was on my iMac.

Was the Windows 7 VM Bootcamp based? If it was, TM can't back it up.

No, it was fully loaded in Parallels 9.0 as was the Windows XP VM

Navigate to where the .pvm is (likely ~/Documents/Parallels) and double-click on it.

The Parallels folder is empty.

There is a Virtual PC List folder that has a file Windows XP Professional.vpc7

There was one on the source computer but I guess it didnt back up. I am copying it over manually

That worked! Thanks for the help

Ah, maybe it was set to not backup with TM, make sure it set to backup with TM on the new computer if that's what you want.
