    I would convert all my VMs used with Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac to Parallels Workstation 2.2. for Windows. Is it possible? Do I need a tool for convertion?

    Does anyone have an answer for this?

    I am trying to do the exact same thing. A coworker on a MAC is running an image that I need to bring over to a PC. Is this possible?

    Figured it out

    When you clone the drive on the Mac, and bring it over to your PC, disk1.hdd will be a folder. Inside the folder is an hds file with a long name, and an xml file. I was able to rename the .hds to disk1.hdd and point my pvs file to the renamed file...worked like a charm.

    And you were using Parallels Desktop 4.0?

    Just want to make sure you were using 4.0. I do this right now with Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac and Parallels Workstation 2.2 and would love to upgrade the Mac side to 4.0.

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,
    Keith
