    I posted this in the Parallels and Fusion thread but maybe it is better here.

    I just purchased a new MBP and so far my move from my old one to this has been smooth for the Mac OS. I want to move my current Bootcamp partition to the new machine and use Parallels as i did on my old machine.

    I have tried setting up a Bootcamp partition and installed Windows XP on it and all was fine. I was able to boit into windows with no problem, i than used Winclone and installed the backup on the Bootcamp partition and all my prgrams ran fine. Once i tried to use Parallels everything went south, Parallels would not boot into windows and than i am no longer able to boot into the Bootcamp partition. Parallels will just keep trying to start but i will get a blue screen and it seems it wants to run checkdisk than tries to restart.

    Anyone know of a way move my old Bootcamp partition and have it work....??? Help i would hate to have to reload all my programs.
