Dec 02, 2010 I can connect the old MBP to my new i7 MacBook Pro (firewire 800 cable, boot the old one in hard disk mode by pressing 'T' on startup), and I can see the Mac and Boot Camp partitions on my new desktop. I installed an evaluation copy of Parallels on the new Mac, created an XP VM, and can run Windows under this VM using the Boot Camp partition. Although it is not possible to backup just the Boot Camp disk volume, it is possible to mark only Boot Camp for restoration. When performing a recovery from an Entire Mac or a Disk backup, Boot Camp will also be restored. Incompatibility with Windows (PC) version of Acronis True Image.

Migrating Boot Camp is easy with Winclone. In this tutorial we will review the process for migrating Boot Camp over a local network from one Mac to another.
Summary of steps in this tutorial:
1. Run Sysprep in Windows 2. Migrate Boot Camp over the Network 3. Install Boot Camp drivers
Note: Although Winclone supports imaging of Windows XP in NTFS format, Apple no longer provides Boot Camp drivers for Windows XP, so Windows 7 or above are supported as source operating systems for the Boot Camp migration.
Another Note: Use of third-party drivers that allow OS X to read to and write from Windows NTFS should be disabled and/or removed before starting this process.

The options for running Sysprep are very simple. Select the “Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) and make sure to check the Generalize checkbox. Generalize is what removes the device drivers from Windows, so it’s very important to ensure that this box is checked before continuing. In Shutdown Options, select Shutdown.Do not select Reboot.

Due to the Sysprep process run previously, Windows will present a prompt to create a new account. Simply create a new temporary account which will be removed later, then log out of this account. Windows will display your existing user account and the new temporary account. Once logged in to your existing account, you may remove the temporary user account.

Because Sysprep was run prior to creating the image, the new drivers will not be installed yet. Use Boot Camp Assistant to download the Boot Camp drivers and install after starting up into Windows. Please see the help document “Install Boot Camp drivers” for additional details.
