Hi,
It makes sence. The question is how do you get around this problem. I
have never used a boot camp. I work with this? Thanks.

Mathew, it’s a matter of file systems. Mac OS is different from fat
32 which is what your usb disk probably is. You need a fat 32
partition or similar to run windows on natively. In the case of
vmware, the virtualization engine creates a file that acts like the
file system. It’s sort of nested or hosted on your Mac OS partition
but the vmware application plays the middle man here. Bootcamp has no
such deal because it’s running windows natively so it has to be on a
file system that windows supports.
Let me know if that makes sense or if I’ve confused things worse.
Thank you

Jonathan, I already have a vm with windows 10. Are you saying I
could tell vmware to create or install to the boot camp partition?
For some reason I am told that the partition could not be resized or
somerthing to that affect. I am using mac os extended journaled so
not sure what is going on though. I did managed to get windows 10 on
to the usb drive. What is the deal? Am i missing something.

Hi Matthew, you first need to set up Bootcamp, then you can use
VMWare Fusion to make a virtual machine from the Bootcamp partition.
I've not done this yet since at present my VM runs side-by-side with
OS X, but I've been reading about this on the VMWare site recently,
and it looks quite similar to setting up any other VM. My hunch is
it's doable without sighted assistance but I don't know for certain.
The advantage of it is that when you are using Windows apps that are
resource-intensive or where latency in a standard VM might be an
issue, you can boot fully into Windows. For apps that require
authorisation, it looks like you may need to authorise some of them
twice, since effectively they're two different Windows machines.
Would be interesting to know how folks are getting on with this
configuration.

Hi all.
Trying this again as my message bounced when sending this message
this morning.
I have a windows 10 home vm which I want to use in a boot camp
partition. This can be done without sited help? I was playing
with the boot camp assistant lastnight and found that if I have a
usb drive connected it will download a set of drivers for windows.
I did not see an opsion to hav e it install from a vm. I am either
missing something or perhaps you get the opsion later in the
prosses. Anyone tred this without sited help annd how did you do
this. I am using an imac 21 inch with a 1TB HD. Thanks.
Matthew
