How do I create an ISO file of a Boot Camp partition from OS X to use the ISO in Parallels later?
I thought Winclone could do it, but it can't.
Any alternatives?

Use Disk Utility to do it. Select your partition and hit the "New Image" button. In the Save sheet that pops up, set the Image Format to "DVD/CD Master". Disk Utility will suggest a filename extension of .cdr
for the resulting disk image, but just change it to .iso
. They're just different names for the same thing.
.CDR
and .ISO
files are not the same thing. You can convert your .CDR
file to an .ISO
file by using Terminal in Mac OS X.
Let's use a file named BOOTCAMP.cdr
for my example.
Follow these steps:
1. Move BOOTCAMP.cdr
file (created by Disk Utility) to the desktop of your Mac.
2. Start Terminal.
3. Type: cd ~/desktop
then press Enter.
4. Type: hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o BOOTCAMP.iso BOOTCAMP.cdr
then press Enter.
5. Close Terminal.
Enjoy!!!
