Bootcamp and partitioning and VMWare
my set up: imac (osx 10.6 snow leopard) ssd used mac , second drive 2.0 tb use windows 7. when used bootcamp partition 2 tb hd, , added vmware fusion, well. decided try add 3 partitons windows hd using program other bootcamp. windows reinstalled , worked fine. added fusion , not run. told vmware tech won't run because did not use bootcamp partiton. problem not want give windows entire 2.0 tb, not necessary. want add couple partitions storage of music, etc. right now, mac running well, windows 7 running fusion dead. can still boot either os.
know how around this? want have 3 partitions on 2 tb drive used windows 7. not want touch mac installation. again use fusion.
vmware supports single drive installs partitiones boot camp (i.e. 1 hfs+ partition, 1 ntfs partition (plus hidden system partition).
else have manually make own vmdk raw disk , run risk of having break. google "vmware raw physical disk" , may find of info need. need know partitions , on own since not supported configuration.
