One of the things I noticed on the VMware FAQ pages was a recommendation to create a new hardware profile to allow Windows to distinguish between native booting and VMware-booting. I'd like to be able to use my native Windows partition under VMware, but with Windows being as unstable as it is, I'd hate to give it another reason to crap out and die. Anyone know how to create a hardware profile? -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
