Some users of VMware Workstation and VMware Server already have dual-boot or multiple-boot
computers and want to run one or more of the existing operating systems in a virtual machine.
If you are in this situation, you might want to use the existing installation of an operating system
rather than reinstall it in a virtual machine.
To support such installations, VMware Workstation and VMware Server make it possible for you
to use a physical IDE or SCSI disk or partition, sometimes called a raw disk, inside a virtual
machine.
This technical note describes how to set up such a configuration. It covers the following topics:
• Using the Same Operating System in a Virtual Machine and on the Host Computer on
page 1
• Choosing and Preparing the Physical Disk on page 2
• Defining Hardware Profiles for Windows Guests on page 4
• Configuring the Host on page 5
• Configuring Specific Drivers Manually on page 8
• Dual-Boot SCSI Systems on Linux Hosts on page 10
