My Mac is a 10.9.5 and my Virtual Box was 4.3.20.īesides a few failed attempts in creating the VHD image, apparently because my network mapping between the Mac and Parallels got unavailable due some unknown reason, i´ve managed creating it successfully by not doing anything else in the Mac during the full length of the conversion. I´ve done through “Creating a VDI Image” steps successfully with an Windows Vista Business (32Bit).

At this time, we do not have information on running Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. VMware could replicate the issue and is investigating it. The only way to get VMware 4.0.1 to run Mac OS X 10.7.1 guest in full screen is to first boot VMware in Single Window, then switch to Full Screen. Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite has just been made available for the Mac Developer Program. BTW, this Mac mini, like MacBooks by default now boots into 64-bit kernel in Mac OS X 10.7. Both can be read by VirtualBox, but the VDI (Virtual Disk Image) format allows for more flexibility (disk expansion) than VHD.

Creating a VDI Image Based on the research, I opted for creating a VDI (Virtual Disk Image) file format instead of VHD (Virtual Hard Disk). That way I had plenty of time test and back out (if necessary) before classes resumed on Tuesday. Because of this, I did some pre-conversion research, documented those steps and then performed the full conversion on a Friday evening of a 3 day weekend. For me, this was a must work scenario because of the almost daily updates being made to the Windows XP image by my kids as they navigate classes on SOS (Switched On Schoolhouse). There were a number of things I learned that I wanted to share. Over this past weekend, I decided to try and convert my main Windows/XP image (under Parallels Desktop) on my newer iMac to VirtualBox to prepare for Mavericks on that machine.

I converted off BootCamp to VirtualBox a few months ago so I could update my older iMac to Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). If you’ve seen my other post on running VirtualBox, you know that I’ve been running Parallels desktop for some time.
