Hi, This may sound a bit difficult, but please bare with me for a while;-) I used to use Paralles 5 Desktop on my mac and also installed my windows 7 on bootcamp. Many months later the bootcamp stopped operating and I couldn't switch from mac to windows. Now, I have downlaoded the new paralles 6 trial and want to put my "old" windows 7" in the virtuel machine. I have no problem making a new windows 7 to work in mac, BUT!!!! I have no idea how I can use my old windows so I can use all my files and programmes. I need help and would be pleased if anybody could help me here. Thank you all very much, Jeannie61
