VM Question: Windows 7/Mac OSX Dual Boot on MBP

[robertlair]

I just finished installing Windows 7 on a second partition of my MBP. I did a fresh install, used Mac Disk Utility to create three partitions (Mac, Windows, Data (shared)). I then installed OSX on first partition and then installed Windows 7 on the second partition.

 

What I *want* to do is have the option to run either of the two OSes in a VM on top of the other. So, if I am using Windows 7 at the time, and need to run something on the Mac, I can simply open OSX in a VM ontop of Windows 7. Problem is, I am not finding any way to do this. I know I can't create a Mac VM, but I was hoping that having the Mac on its own partition installed natively would make it possible.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be possible, or is it just crazy talk?

 

Thanks
