![]() If anyone was watching this, I just wanted to let you know that I did it. Using WinClone restore the NTFS image of the USB based C drive partition created in step 5. WinClone can do this directly but I chose to avoid that.ħ. Note that there are other tools and means to create a BootCamp partition - I just used that which comes with Leopard/Tiger. Prep an appropriately sized BootCamp partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Use WinClone to image it to a backup file.Ħ. Now the drive exists as an MBR NTFS partition visible to the MacOS. ![]() Eject (on the PC) the USB drive and release the USB drive back to the MacOS via parallels device menu.ĥ. Clone the system (C) drive onto the USB disk creating a new MBR based NTFS partition on it from the Parallels C drive.Ĥ. Use any PC imaging/backup/partition cloning application (in this case Acronis tools). Launch Parallels and assign the USB disk drive to it.ģ. Use a USB disk drive and format/partition it with an MBR partition using Apple's Disk Utility. Thanks in advance for any advice you have!ġ. I doubt they take too kindly to parallels users.
