MessageThanks Tommy, Well, I ran VMWare for the first time and got it authorized, read the help files and understand how to get boot camp setup as a Virtual machine. However, VM doesn't seem to "see" my boot camp. I'm told to find boot camp in the list of VM's in the Virtual Machine Library, but that list is empty - no bootcamp.
Any suggestions? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tommy Craig To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 12:21 PM Subject: RE: VMWare Fusion and bootcamp As far as I know there is no downside to keeping you Bootcamp partition. I have been using this method for about two years and have upgraded from Fusion 3 to 4 and now to 5 without any problems.

I spent alot of time getting Windows7 setup in a bootcamp installation on my iMac. Now I have a trial copy of fusion5 and after I install it, I will most likely buy it as I know from watching the list that it works well, and will let me use windows and OSX side-by-side. But, before I rip out the bootcamp partition and go the fusion route, I want to know: Is there a downside to keeping the bootcamp - other than its disk usage I mean? If I just ask fusion5 to use the bootcamp installation, will all the programs (screen reader etc) work as well as if I went the fusion install route? Can I do both? I kind of like having windows as a native installation. please bury me with more information than I'll ever need on this topic;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
