What I did to solve this was the following:

 

1 - boot into osx

2 - get into the terminal

3 - set your windows partition active (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844)

4 - windows will now boot in vmware (if your bootcamp partition data is still there, remove it by left clicking, show in finder and delete that file that comes up)

5 - it will now boot and you can change your active partition again

 

Good luck :(

OK. I've been lurking around for a while and finally had a reason to post.

 

I have a XP Pro SP3 partition found by my VMWare as Boot Camp Partition. I tried the above but it didn't work.

 

I have a 95% functional Hackintosh. But this one thing is killing me.

I'll be trying this tonight. I'll let you know if it works. Have you tried it and gotten the boot0 error?

Hello :)

 

I've made the Windows Partition Active and Boot0 error no longer appears but Windows Bootmanager gives me a freaking error saying that due to an Hardware Change, it can't boot :S

 

"Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."

 

I've not tried to boot natively, only via VmWare Fusion, but i'm a little bit afraid that no longer boots :S

 

Can someone please help me? Thanks :)
