RE: [PLUG] Is anyone running vmware?


I think the other poster is not correct.  VMware Server does allow you
to set a physical disk as a raw-device of your virtual machine.  However
they do note it is for advanced users and probably isn't recommended.
This is especially true if you're dual booting, because it would be like
moving your hard drive between two physical computers (your real
hardware and the virtual hardware).  Disk drivers and other such things
are bound to get confused.

To further my question...I have a dual boot system, windows/linux.  Is
it possible to configure vmware to boot and run off of my existing
windows partition?

BTW, I need to run Internet Explorer, Dreamweaver, and Photoshop on
occasion.
