VMWare Fusion 2.0

[TSE]

I had to delete my previous boot camp partition and redo the whole installation of Windows without backing up my files.

I want to run VMWare Fusion 2.0 over my boot camp partition, so I go on choose existing disk to run off of it, click on the Boot Camp hard drive icon, but the "Choose" button is whited out and I can't click on it.

Any ideas?

It won't let me boot from the boot camp partition, period. When I run it, it checks the disk then says it doesn't recognize something to run off of.

It sounds like Windows didn't actually install ...

Ok, your previous post made it seem like you couldn't boot from the BC partition at all.

Oh, sorry about that.

No, when I try to run it off of VMWare Fusion of Mac OS X, it doesn't allow me to. Do I need to do anything special to make it notice this Boot Camp partition?

I don't think so, when I created the VM for my BC partition, it showed up as soon as I opened Fusion.

This is very odd then. Maybe I will try reinstalling VMWare Fusion. I will report back with what happens. Thanks for your help thus far, my friend.

it should just show up as a VM after you set up boot camp, all i had to do was run the import to install VM tools, off i go, boots into BC partition fine.
