I have installed vmware server, but I have run into a problem setting up the virtual machine. I am trying to set it up so that I am using a Physical windows drive, as I have xp on my other drive.
I have been following instructions here:
http://www.venturecake.com/a-simple-guide-to-using-your-existing-windows-install-apps-in-ubuntu/
But I run into problems when I get to this part:
Use individual partitions and pick both your Window NTFS and Linux Ext3 partition (since part of Grub is on your Linux partition). Don’t bother about the swap partition.When I get to individual partitions I can only choose one, sdb or sda.
I have 2 physical hard drives, one (sda) has my windows system and my ubuntu /home.
On the second drive (sdb) is where ubuntu is installed.
How can I get around this problem? Cause I think this guide is more for if you have one hard drive.
Is it possible to get vmware setup with the way my partitions/drives are setup?

Thanks for any help
