To do so, while selecting the disc you want to use, do not select “Create new virtual disk” or “Use an existing disk”, but select “Use a physical disk”.
Select the drive you want, preferably the whole partition. I have Grub, therefore it is not possible for me to tell whether the original Microsoft installer would boot.
No excuses for not using Linux now, because this should remove the installation hassle.
In short, this means i could boot from my existing C: drive on the partition that windows is installed?Thus keeping my data in tact and not have to start on a fresh VMWare OS installation
If this is for real Im Done!..No more windows ever....
Which VMWare product did you use.
It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between
