I'm currently running VMWare Fusion 7.0.0 on a OS-X Yosemite 10.10.1 Macbook Pro. I have a piece of software on my Windows 7 virtual machine that can't be replaced. To sell the Macbook Pro, I need to get my Windows OS & programs off of the machine. The new (destination) machine won't have VMWare Fusion on it, but will use a boot camp partition instead.
I've tried using the "create system disc" option from within Windows 7 virtual machine, but it seems to copy ALL of Drive C: onto the external USB drive. Then when I try to install it on a boot camp partition (smaller than the actual C: drive of the source machine), it won't fit.
What I think I need to do is to have Windows 7 copy only the 9 or so gigs of the actual virtual machine folder and make THAT into the bootable system image. How do I do that?
If that isn't the correct way to achieve this, what other options do I have?
Thanks - and Happy Thanksgiving!
