Hi All,

My problem is as follow:

I have been a PC users until my laptop got broken, so I immediately bought Mac! and every time I needed to run anything on Windows I would use Parallels on Mac.
NOW after almost a year I finally was able to get my old HDD from my broken laptop.

I have backed up my iphone on it before, and I have many important files. I would like to know how to boot windows from this old HDD using Parallels. And if I cannot how can I find my backed up iphone file on iTunes? Appdata folder is empty.


Thank you in advance.

Thats what I am already doing now I have plugged the HDD into my Mac. But I cannot see many files and I cannot restore iphone using the backup from those files. I have to run it like I am running windows. It would be easier I guess..
