Apr 08, 2006 How to copy files from Mac to Windows VM? To share files when not connected to an Ethernet port? I.e., I am on an airplane, or in an airport and want to have Mac OSX see and exchange files with Parallels Windows XP C: drive. (running in parallels, obviously) mounted in OS X. OS X is using the airport connection, and Win2k3 Server is. Help sharing data between bootcamp, parallels, fat32, and OS X. Discussion in 'Windows, Linux & Others on the Mac' started. Parallels adds the functionality that MacDrive provides and allows you to access Mac files while running windows. Maybe I should bump up the windows partition to 300 GB and save a copy of all the data files there.
I would like to transfer applications from one Virtual Machine to other.

Information
When migrating your Windows PC over to your Mac using Parallels Desktop the Parallels Transporter Agent creates a full copy of your Windows PC disk. After such copy is created it is then transferred to your Mac and used as a Virtual Hard disk for the Virtual Machine that will be created as result of migration.
Note: Windows installation and all your data on the source computer (your PC you want to transfer to your Mac) remains intact all the time during the migration process and after the transfer is complete.
For more information please refer to Parallels Desktop User's Guide and KB 115007
If your Windows PC has several disks or partitions you can choose which of them to transfer to your Mac.
Click Customize and select which Windows volumes to migrate.
If you already copied your data from your PC user folder (like Documents, Music, Video, Pictures, Downloads) over to your Mac using OS X Migration Assistant or any other method, you can exclude them from migration as well. You just need to check the 'I have already moved..' checkbox as on the screenshot below.
However, due to limitations of Windows operating system it is not possible to exclude applications installed on your PC from migration or to migrate Windows applications from one Virtual Machine to another.
Mac Os Copy File Path
If you need to migrate Windows applications from one Virtual Machine to another Virtual Machine you will have to install them on your other Virtual Machine using the installation packages for those applications. After you install your Windows application on another Virtual Machine you may want to copy the data files related to that application (like databases, settings, bookmarks etc.) from the original Virtual Machine. Alternatively you can use Windows Easy Transfer utility from Microsoft to transfer your Windows installation from one Virtual machine to another.
It is also not possible to migrate Windows applications from your PC to your Mac without migrating the whole Windows operating system. This is because Windows applications are designed to run on Windows only and OS X installed on your Mac cannot run them.
Parallels: Do you have any idea of the misconceptions anti-Mac users might have about performance with Parallels Desktop and SolidWorks? Jon: One interesting thing is that OS X (10.9 and up) has memory compression, which means a system with 16 GB of physical RAM can actually allocate 22 to 24 GB without swapping to disk. SolidWorks® is a widely used 3D design software that runs very well using Parallels Desktop for Mac.

My work notebook got infested with a nasty virus this week so I had to send it in to our IT group to clean it up 3000 miles away. Good thing I had Fusion and XP running on my iMac or I would have been shut down for several days. As I was working I was easily able to drag and drop Office files between the two OS's, I have MS Office for both Windows and OS X on my Mac so it was a snap. Boy I hate Windows though with all the troubles it brings along with it.
