Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

Can I use the Window XP bundled with MS virtual PC in setting up boot camp?

Hi hi,
before having the new 24" iMac, I have MS office professional for Mac running on my 17" G5 iMac it. The bundle pack contains Window xp professional software running on Virtual pc program.
I want to install boot camp on my new intel mac but can i use the window xp program which is bundled with MS virtual pc software for setting up boot camp?
please advise.
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Technically, so long as your bundled version is XP with service pack 2 then you should be able to use it.
Legally, no. When Windows comes with a PC, even a virtual PC, it's license is for an OEM installation. While it's still functionally the same as a copy you'd buy in the store its license is for use only with that PC it came with and no others.
Hope this helps! bill

Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.

Does OS installed through boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?

I am planning to buy new PC for my faculty needs and this time I am thinking to buy Apple laptop like Mac book Pro 13" or so ( I owe already IPhone and Ipad 2)
To make final decision I need few information . These are:
1. May I use Boot Camp or similar utility software to install Windows 7 OS next to OS X Lion, or use some kind of virtual box software to create virtual machines with diverse guest OS in them like Windows , Linux etc.?
2. Does OS installed through Boot camp or in virtual machine has access and full control of the peripherals like native OS X Lion?
3. May I use the same disk partitions to access to the files regardless if I am using Windows 7 or OS X Lion operating system?
4. Is there full compatibility between Microsoft Office under OS X Lion and Windows 7 M. Office?
5. What is general user experience with OS X Lion operating system comparing to Windows 7?
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

1. Yes. You can install Windows 7 natively using Boot Camp Assistant or you can install Windows 7 in a virtual machine using Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox
2. If installed using Boot Camp Assistant Windows 7 uses all your computer's resources just as OSx does. If installed using a VM Windows 7 will share the computer's resources with OSx.
3. A Boot Camp partition is separate from the OSx partition. The VMs allow sharing of files across partitions since both OS are running at the same time.
4. No, not 100%.
5. Too broad a question. Be specific about what feature you are asking about or search the Internet for comparisons. I use both and find they both work well.

Want to convert existing Parallels virtual disk to Boot Camp

I have an existing Parallels VM running on a virtual disk. I'd like to transfer that to a Boot Camp partition. Can this be done?
Most of the discussion here and elsewhere is about the reverse - importing a Boot Camp setup into Parallels, and/or setting up a new virtual machine using the Boot Camp partition. That's NOT what I want to do, though it may be what I end up doing, I guess.

I was only saying that whatever VMware and Parallels do to have one license for VM AND for Boot Camp "stretches" the EULA a bit.
+Please make sure that you do not violate the licensing agreement of your operating system and other installed software by virtualizing your system.+
People with Mac Pro definitely are running multiple VMs today.
As for if/how to convert:

Boot Camp Services allegedly interfering with Windows 7 upgrade installer

The MS Windows 'upgrade advisor' analyzes my Vista install & says I'm good to go with an upgrade, onto my Boot Camp partition, from Vista 32 bit to W-7 32-bit - - - -
BUT..... when, after booting up in Vista, I try to run the W-7 installer program the following happens:
1) starts off immediately copying needed files and trying to create temp folders and then aborts with a a Microsoft error message Code 0x80070005 - "unable to create a required installation folder."
It is said, on credible Microsoft help forums like this one, that this is a known issue with Boot Camp not supporting W7, but the workaround some people have apparently tried quite successfully is to run the Vista uninstaller and REMOVE -"Boot Camp Services" from the boot camp volume; THEN,//////install the W-7 upgrade normally; then go back to the Leopard install DVD and reinstall BootCamp Services. Can this be done ? Should it work just that simply ?
I am leery and cautious about trying this without assurances from more experienced Mac guys that it should not cause me any serious issues I'd regret creating.
IS Apple aware of this issue and do they have a suggested fix ? Are they working on a solution ?

You must be using the Win7 upgrade software. I ran into the same problem. Here's what you can try. First, run the upgrade software application and let it extract all the files to your Windows drive. The installer will then fail, but you will have a folder on your drive that contains the upgrader's content. Burn the contents of that folder (not the folder itself) to a DVD. Then restart Windows and delete the upgrader folder. Now insert the DVD you made and navigate to it. Double-click on the Startup application. The updater should now work. I had the option to upgrade my existing system or archive the existing system and do a clean install Win7. I had nothing to save so i opted for the clean install. I've tried this twice so far, and it has worked for me.

Can the boot camp partition be resized once windows is installed and running as virtual machine using vm fusion ware?

I have macbook air partitioned 505/50 and running OSX and win 7 side by side as virtual machines using vm fusion. Can the partition size be changed without starting over?

Very helpful. I started with vm ware to create a pseudo drive but could not import win 7 over home network. mac has no immediate way to connect to network without adapter, and has no cdrom. So i used boot camp to create partition, then made a bootable win7 iso file on a memory stick using win 7 usb/cdrom download tool from microsoft, and rEFIT to get mac to boot from the mem stick into the dos partition. Then i ran vm fusion to import the win 7 partition as a virtual machine. OSx and win 7 run side by side.
Seems from what you say that sizing cannot be accomplished without deleting partition and starting over. If I start over and just run vm fusion to create he win7 virtual machine, not sure how I would bet the minimum win 7 os into the ac. Perhaps vm will boot from the mem stick using refit. Do you know?

Uninstalled Boot Camp service tool by accident in windows xp PLEASE HELP

By accident I uninstalled Boot Camp service tool in windows XP and i can't seem to find a way to re-install it.
I can still boot in windows XP and removing this tool did not corrupted the boot camp partition in windows but i am wondering if this toll can be re-installed without having to re-install boot camp.
Any help will be appreciated

I did it but i could not install tool from the dvd. As i said, i can still boot up windows xp i just needs to re-install the service tool.
The drivers are working properly.

Is boot camp required on virtual box?

i am gonna install xp on virtual box. is boot camp required?
what i mean is are any driver installations required?

AceNeerav:

No however you will need to bring your own copy of Windows.
what i mean is are any driver installations required?
The driver installation(s) is done by Virtualbox during installation.
I have not fully tested this software however you can find some good information [HERE|http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox].

Boot camp services setup failed - Boot camp 3.3 update

Running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 2008 iMac with boot camp 3.2. When running apple update to install boot camp 3.3, after a reboot I get the following message from the installer: Boot Camp Services Setup Failed.
Sorry, After I posted I found the answer. I also had a logmein display driver and once uninstalled boot camp 3.3 installed just fine.

The BC Service is installed for any individual login (whether local or domain-based), which happens only the first time. The BC Driver Installer has no option to install the services for 'All Users'. This is expected behavior.
The two-finger click is a separate issue. Can you try

Time Machine back up filling with Fusion 2.0.1 Boot Camp virtual machine

Hi all, I want to report and share something (don't actually know if it's a bug).
I finally solved an issue that was maddening me since weeks: my Leopard 10.5.6 Time Machine was backing up lots of gigabytes of data even if I wasn't writing to files that much lately. I tried to exclude everything I was aware of having a large size, and I even did not have a Fusion VM at all at a certain point in */Users/MyUser/Documents/Virtual Machines*. The only virtual machine I am using is the virtualized Bootcamp partition with Vista installed. But I didn't care about it because I was sure Time Machine wasn't going to backup it (i.e. I thought it was excluded by default being another partition!). Instead, I finally succeded in tracking down (with a free app called "Time Tracker", google for it) the culprit to a *Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm* file, several gigabytes large (actually large as much as the used space in the Boot Camp partition), that's found under
*/Users/MyUser/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0*
So I went in Time Machine options dialog and excluded */Users/MyUser/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp*.
Then the problem was solved...now I need only to mount the sparsebundle and erase all the old backups of that file to recover some more space in Time Capsule...
Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else!
Cheers!

No, not a bug. By default TM will back-up any drive/partition it can read, except the TM backup drive/partition itself.

Boot Camp 2.1 & Win XP Service Pack 3

Greetings!
I recently upgraded this MacBook with a 200GB hard drive, and installed OS X 10.5. I then created the standard, 32GB partition to install Windows XP Pro. Everything was fine, until I tried to update Boot Camp to 2.1. Multiple attempts have failed, with no real reason why. Apple Software Update tells me that the update couldn't be installed, so please choose the Download Only option, and install manually. I did so, but when I run the file, it goes through the Windows Installer configuration, then immediately says that "The installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured." I also fetched the package from Apple's download page, and got the same result. I am somewhat at a loss, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The other issue is with XP SP3. When I attempt to install it, either from Windows Update, or from the complete download package, it informs me that there is insufficient for the uninstall information, which requires at least 4 MB of additional space. I almost laughed when I read that the first time, since there were over 20GB of free space at the time. Some quick google-searches haven't yielded anything particularly informative, so I figured this would be the quickest place to get some answers. Thank you in advance!

I ran into a similar situation. I found the solution next door at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1682935&tstart=0
This appears to be a problem on several different models.
My graphics card was correctly identified on XP SP3, but it had an old device driver. I followed the instructions to install an up to date driver.
I had a 10.4 iMac running XP SP2 via BootCamp 1.x for more than two years.
Upgraded to 10.5.8, and BC 2.1. Then updated XP SP2 ==> SP3.
BSOD every 10 minutes.
Most general solution to correct problem:
1. Restart into OS X.
2. Run System Profiler - write down the name of your graphics card. (Mine was misspelled -- "AYI" instead of "ATI"!)
3. Follow instructions at above link. (You might already have .Net 2.0 -- I did.)
Problem solved.

Does Boot Camp or Virtual PC support firewire for camera input?

I have found Parallels does not have a camera firewire driver. Has anyone found another solution in Windows XP?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I believe that Boot Camp supports firewire cameras. In addition, the newest version (1.1.2) has support for isight cameras. This leads me to believe that it supports camcorders, however I would download the boot camp beta an try your hardware with the software you would be using on Windows.
