[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1090518, member: 140470"] There was an application that could clone your Windows partition but I don't remember what it was called and I never used it myself so I don't know how reliable it was. I think the reason why you needed a new Windows product number was because you switched from Parallels to Fusion and Windows thought they were two different machines. You may not need a new product key if you use Fusion again and use the same settings. Although it may come down to you needing to call Microsoft again. That's just one of the pains of using Windows. If it's a full retail copy of Windows and not a system builder's then Microsoft is suppose to allow you to transfer ownership from one computer to another so if it comes down to it they would deactivate your current copy and transfer the ownership to your new VM Windows partition.
