My PC died (the mother board was bad, but not the hard drive), so I took my hard drive out and bought a Thermaltake dock to transfer files to my MacPro. I tried transferring files on my PC (iTunes, photos, docs) w/Parallels and failed. Suggestions?
MacBook Pro
Transfer the files to the Mac first or to a USB thumb drive and then mount the thumb drive under Parallels/Windows to transfer from there if Parallels is not recognizing the hardware dock.
Thanks, but these Migration Assistant instructions are for a PC. I only have the hard drive from the dead PC.

And your transfering them to Windows in Parallels, so Migration Assistant only transfers to OS X.
Like I said, Parallels is not recognizing the hardware dock, so use OS X to transfer the files to a USB thumb drive, then unplug and replug and mount it in Parallels/Windows to transfer your files.
OS X cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, but they can read from them. So perhaps Parallels can't mount NTFS because of that dual nature without additional software installed.
Also this could be considered a Parallels issue, check with their forums.
