Is it possible to get Windows running in Parallels or VMWare with an existing standalone Windows partition to avoid another install?

Thanks.

Works absolutely fine with Fusion which sees it as a Bootcamp install. Parallels is supposed to work, but I can't get it to recognise the Windows install.

perhaps it only works on a real Mac.

Has anyone got Parallels to recognise an existing Windows install?

When you say 'neither worked for me', what do you mean? Did they install?
