Hey all,

I'm a website developer that has been enjoying BootCamp for the last several months. I've just heard about the Parallels (1.0) release and wanted to give it a shot.

I have everything already configured and installed within BootCamp, and wanted to know if anyone has figured out an easy way to clone the BootCamp HD for use within Parallels?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

The Windows Files and Settings Transfer Wizard will allow you to configure your Parallels installation exactly the same way as the Boot Camp installation. Have you considered that?

Thanks for the reply. I have thought of this solution, and that may be the best way to do it. However, the Files and Transfer Wizard copies over the settings alone. I was looking for something to clone the hard drive, incluidng all applications.

Anyone been able to accomplish this?
