Migrating an existing, running and working Thinkpad (from Lenovo :) ) into a Parallels image is relatively easy - just download the Transporter for Windows, install it and reboot. Afterwards select the computer from the Mac Transporter and wait.Wait.
Wait.
Finally reboot your newly created image. If you are lucky it just boots, if you used a Thinkpad as source computer you might end up with a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) as shown in the image to the right. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. In this case follow these steps to get the issue resolved:
- Boot the image in Safe mode
- Open up the Device Manager
- Enable viewing of hidden devices in the menu
- Find a device tree called "SM DRIVER"
- Uninstall all devices (SM BIOS) below that tree
- Reboot and hope :)
(Original instructions)
PS: doing the migration over a Wireless connection is no good idea. Will take veeeery long. Instead use a direct, wired connection between the Thinkpad and the MacBook and enter the IP directly (169.x.x.x) in the Transporter Wizard. No need for a router. No need for a cross-over cable, the Mac is capable of auto-sensing.
