vmware fusion question

I have windows on a bootcamp partition on my Samsung SSD in the main bay and I have a 1TB Samsung HHD in the optical bay formatted to exFat.

when I boot off the bootcamp partition I see the Bootcamp partition, OSX partition and the 1TB Samsung in the optibay so in other words every works as it should


when I us Vmware Fusion 6, I made the virtual machine using the existing bootcamp partition, now when I am using that virtual machine and I go to windows explorer, I only see the bootcamp partition I can't either the HHD in the optical bay or the other partion on the SSD in the main bay

any advice to make vmware see the drive in the optical bay?

Go to the Settings of that VM and under Sharing add the folders or volumes you want to see in Windows Explorer.

thanks that did it

on the subject, my bootcamp partition is practically empty so starting over would not take long, is there any advantage to using vmware to create a virtual disk and than install windows vs just using a bootcamp partition?
