Purple Puppy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Is it possible to use a physical partition as a VM's harddrive in VMware Fusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico3d3 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes, in VMware Fusion 1.1, you simply install your Windows to whatever hard drive you want to and VMware will detect it as Bootcamp Partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes it is possible, just visit the right Forum, this is fro VMware on Windows/Linux, Vmware Fusion threads are in the Virtualization Section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgang Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I've not found how to do this -- perhaps the Win32 and OS X partitions need to be on the same physical disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 no, my XP is on RAID setup (2 disks) and my Mac OS X is in another Disk. On VMware for windows you edit your VM and add a new disk, choose Phycal Disk and then a window with a list of your Physical Disks appears. On VMware fusion yo add a new disk and if you have and active partition on other disk a BootCamp option should be available. There is a trick how to add the bootcamp option automatically, an there is a procedure to add it manually with VMware tools, jus serach on the Virtualization Forum.
