Um... isn't that kinda... well... stupid? (no offense).
Yes, its actually incredibly stupid :)
But as you all know, I think nothing of reformatting - and I don't do this kinda stuff on any box with data stored on it.
You should try a sudo rm / -R sometime ... kinda reminds me of HAL dying from 2001 :)

Why would you try to virtually boot into an OS that is already running?
You can do some real damage to your installation. Multiple OSes and
trying to access the same resources, like /proc or /tmp, that the OS
expects to have solitary access to?
I think VMWare itself will either prevent this, or become incredibly
unstable. Not to mention there can't be any need for doing so. (If you
need the OS, you're already there. If you need to test something,
that's what a VIRTUAL machine is for, not a connection to the existing
machine).
