I had a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Vista-HomePremium which was damaged in a fire (house gone). I was able to save the HD 160GB, works fine as an external HD and I'm able to access the files/docs/pics/movies/music. I bought a MacBook Pro and I'm using Parallels 3.1 - with Vista HomePremium Is there a way to access the software that is on the drive? thanks
If this software is like installation files or other movable data then you can simply plug in the external HD as a USB device and connect it to the virtual machine. If the software is already installed and you don have, for example, installation disks then the only possible choice I see is to use the Parallels Transporter (you can find the guide here http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/pd40_docs/ ), however the disk have to be bootable.
some of the software was bought online, will the Parallels Transporter help me in that case? Thanks for the reply
