[QUOTE="silverpigeon, post: 1412291, member: 256072"] Hi, some help would really be appreciated.. I've been running VM Ware Fusion on a MacBook for the last few years..until the motherboard died last week.. Anyway all the information is fine on the 'Mac' part of the hard drive, I have installed it all on a new MBP. The issue is how to access what was on the Windows partition. I guess it's there, I just can't 'see' it? When I migrated everything onto the new Mac, VM Ware Fusion appears in the dock but of course it cannot locate the partitioning. The point of all this is: I have the original hard drive (from the defunct MacBook) but how can I access the partitioned Windows part of it to get the data files at least? Secondly how can I, if at all, install/transfer all this to the new MBP? Any help would be appreciated as I am not an expert and would love to see my Windows files again! [/QUOTE]
