VMware + EasyBCD = problems

[GRardB]

Alright, so I got VMWare Fusion 2. As I've posted before, this is my setup:

 

HDD 1 - 250GB - Windows

HDD 2 - 250GB - Windows

HDD 3 - 500 GB - Mac (Not all 500GB is formatted though)

 

I use EasyBCD, so my boot screen shows:

 

Windows

NeoGRUB

 

In order to get into Mac, I hit enter on NeoGRUB, and hit Mac OS X within NeoGRUB.

 

When I use VMWare to start up a boot camp partition, it starts up but instead of booting into Windows or the main bootloader, I get the NeoGRUB bootloader. I can't go back to the main bootloader and I can't ge into Windows.

 

So....

 

My guess is there are two ways to solve this. Somehow get VMWare to bypass the bootloader and go straight to Windows, or create a menu item for Windows in NeoGRUB.

 

I don't know how to do either, especially the first one (Which I would probably prefer). I think I could do it in NeoGRUB, I just don't know what file to point to. For example, for the Mac OS X menu item, it says:

 

title Mac OS X

kernel (hd2,2)/NST/boot_v8

 

So far, for Windows, I have:

 

title Windows

kernel (hd0,0)

 

Not sure what to do from here.

 

Also, if it matters, I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and LawlessPPC 10.5.4.

 

PLEASE help

 

Thanks,

Gerard

Bump?

 

I got VMWare to take me to the main Vista bootloader (with the options Windows and NeoGRUB). If I click on one, I get errors.

 

So...any way to get VMWare to bypass the bootloader?

Ive read all your posts over the VM forums, and over at easyBCD site, I am in the same boat as you, and cannot get my windows partition to work under VMFusion, did you ever get yours to work?
