Fusion7 execute Windows installed in Bootcamp partition?

[MHolbrook]

Hi all,

I seem to remember folks doing this sometime back.

You use bootcamp, install whatever windows you want into the bootcamp partition.  You can now run MacOS or boot into the Windows install in bootcamp.

But then someone mentioned or had running a VMWare Fusion (or perhaps it was Parallels) VM that ran in MacOS but was using the windows installed in bootcamp.

I'm curious if this works.  I would be concerned about the drivers needing to change between native bootcamp operation and Fusion operation. 

Any thoughts?  Anyone doing it?

Yes VMware Fusion can run Widows installed on the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine.  Have a look at: Power On the Boot Camp Partition as a Virtual Machine
