I want to move my XP machine from my macbook to my new Macbook pro. Do I need to use the the Parallels Transporter? One would think you could just copy the files over.
Any help - hugely appreciated.
thanks

Just copy the virtual machine files over. That's it. The transporter is for getting files into a virtual machine from a real PC.

Worked like a charm. Key to remember is to copy the *.hdd and *.pvs file!
Interesting - first time it started up I got a new file called winxp.mem

Thank you very much Chabig!
