Setting Up a Virtual Machine 112
Adding an Existing Virtual Machine
If you already have a virtual machine stored on your Mac, but it is missing from the Parallels
Virtual Machines list (p. 36), you can easily add it by opening its PVM file in Parallels Desktop.
Parallels Desktop 5 enables you to work with your virtual machines created in Parallels Desktop
and other virtualization products, including VMware Fusion, Microsoft Virtual PC, and
VirtualBox. All you need is to convert them to Parallels Desktop 5 format. The converting is
performed when you add these virtual machines to Parallels Desktop.
To add a virtual machine that already exists on your Mac:
1 Click Open in the File menu, or click the down arrow button
at the lower left corner of
the Parallels Virtual Machines list (p. 36), and choose Open from the menu.
