Resolved Is it possible to clone Windows 7 Parallels desktop vm on Bootcamp partition ?

[LaurentR2D2]

Hello,

I have a :

Mac Pro rev 1,1 / El Capitan 10.11.6 (installed with Pikify) / 15 Gb RAM /
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 Mb

I've created a Bootcamp partition using Bootcamp utility, but even if Bootcamp utility see my external dvd drive, and that I also see it in the Boot drive section of the System preferences, my Mac doesn't boot on it, and I don't see it when I hold Alt on startup. Is there a way that I can install Windows 7 with Parallels Desktop and to clone it on the Bootcamp partition after ? I have the Windows bootcamp softwares on an usb key. I can't use Windows 7 with Parallels Desktop since I need DirectX 11 and Parallels Desktop doesn't support it. Also, bad luck for me, my superdrive is out of order

Thank you

I've finally been able to open the superdrive by taking it out of the machine, and pushing a button on it. Besides not opening with the Mac keyboard, it works, so I've been able to install Windows on my bootcamp partition. So no need to clone anymore I wish all Mac were as easy to open as this machine
