How/when do I tell Vmware to install Windows on the nice new fat32 partition I made for it?
When you create a new VM, add "physical partition" as harddisk instead of "virtual disk file". Maybe this works only on some of the VMware products. There are ESX. GSX and workstation...
I stand corrected :-)
When you do that you get loads of warnings about this being an advanced user option, and that you can seriously break things - make system non-bootable etc.
The instructions on how to do it are here: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws4/doc/disks_instraw_ws.html
Question to the original poster... why are you asking this question on a SUSE mailing list? Wouldn't this be better asked on VMWare support?? This isn't a SUSE problem is it?
Would the original poster please like to get in touch with me off list? I can give you a link to some fresh work being done with both VMWare and Quemu by some guys in my local LUG. They have got both up and running very succesfully and are willing to offer any advice that may be needed.
