Best way to migrate both Mac OS X and Windows?

[Fried Chicken]

Is there an easy and elegant way for me to transfer my Boot Camp partition onto my new iMac?

I was thinking of just doing a restore in Disk Utility, however then the question becomes do I do the partitioning using boot camp assistant, or should I use disk utility and then transfer the partition?
Or is it simply impossible to do and I have to re-install windows and then transfer the files?

I use Parallels so I have no experience with this, but here's something I found using a search: http://terrywhite.com/migrate-windows-boot-camp-partition-to-a-new-mac/

The easiest way I found to migrate your BootCamp partition is the Software called Winclone. It's very easy to use. There is a old free version ( I believe v 2.x) and a new one (v 3.7). The new version is not free trough but worth any cent. Only the new pne will support ML.

Everywhere I look online, people are having success with winclone.
Unfortunately I get an error about the file system (see attached screenshot).

I imaged the windows partition from the old computer to an external disk, and restoring it using winclone didn't work.

I think the problem lies with how I made the windows partition.
I couldn't use boot camp b/c it required a windows ISO. Now I found out on this thread that you can download a 30-day trial. I might do that and then try to create the partition in boot camp.

I was following this guide to make a boot camp partition, and I thought I had succeeded but I guess I didn't.

Did you follow these steps? http://twocanoes.com/support/winclone/migrating-a-bootcamp-partition-with-winclone

I tried this on Windows 8 and it worked sometimes. The key to getting it to backup flawlessly is to check for disk errors and remove all drivers from the partition (if its a different model mac). However, on Windows 8 I couldn't remove drivers because of an error code preventing me so luckily it worked when I transferred from a replacement iMac to my current one with the same specs.
