Hi, I need from time to time to use XP, so I have prepared the machine for Dualboot, but after that I installed VMWare on my SuSE, and made it to run the already installed XP in it.
That way, if I need the full power of the machine for something in XP, I reboot, but otherwise (mot common situation), for some temp work, I just fire-up VMWare and start XP in it.

I also dual boot XP and SuSE. I have VMware 5.0, but installed XP in it. Would you mind a short explanation about how I could create another VM running the Dual Boot XP in VMware? The virtual XP I am using will not recognize my Plextor DVD reader and LiteOn DVD writer as anything other a standard CD-Rom. It would be nice to have this functionality without rebooting, plus it would write the ISO files to a lot of unused XP disk space. Thanks in advance.
