Migrate C1 catalogue from OS X to Windows

I'm still new to CaptureOne, been using it since August, migrated my Aperture library back in September, but ran out of disk space on my MacBook Pro, so I built a Windows 8.1 machine that with expandable RAID storage. But here is my quandary, how do I get my Windows machine to open the copied catalogue from OS X, and show all picture stored within? Copy and paste doens't seem to work. I copied my catalogue from OS X and tried opening it in C1 on Windows, but only a fraction of the stored pictures are showing up.

What can I do to rescan and repair to find all missing photos currently stored, but not showing up in the catalogue. Or what is best practice here? All suggestions appreciated.

  Hi,
  
  where are the images stored?
  If inside your catalog - are you sure that all files are copied? How did you do it?

  Thanks for the response Rob, all the files are stored within the C1 catalogue. I know they're all there because it's well over 100GB, and when I view on OS X they all appear. caveat - iPhoto, Aperture and Photos all have a self-repair option that will add missing or regenerate picture previews. I can find nothing comparable in C1.
  
  As far as I can tell, since C1 (Windows and Mac) use the same db structure and are cross platform compatible, a simple drag and drop from one file structure to the next should suffice. Am I wrong in this assumption?

  Kinda strange, as I do usually send for archive my catalog on TimeCapsule, and when needed just pulling it from any machine. win or mac, no issues so far. Are you sure that all full catalog copied correctly?
  
  The main problem here when you may migrated you photos from Aperture actually they left inside Aperture DB, and that is why you not getting result that you expecting.
  
  Try to export photos that you want as Catalog with include original checkbox set, and C1 should create catalog, where photos are not linked from Aperture but embedded inside catalog, this will solve your problems

  Hi,
  I find the cross platform compatibility not as robust as it should be although I immediately admit that I have not tested it with a recent version of CO.
  
  I suggest you contact support as this is a very specific issue and hard to troubleshoot on a forum. Of course you are more then welcome to share your experience here, but for your benefit, contacting support seems to me the best course of action now.
