First, full disclosure, I haven't run VmWare in
ages (2.x) - I don't have fast enough hardware for it. But you do not need
to reinstall VmWare. You need one virtual disk (including some small
representative if you are guesting an OS already installed on its own partition
in a dual boot configuration) file for each guest OS. If one becomes
unusable, you can just delete it and recreate it. I don't know what you
mean by "all only done once in vmware first run"; if you've been running VmWare
for 6 months and want to add a new guest OS, you'll need to create a new virtual
disk for it. So it is not something you do just once. You only need
to set up a specific guest OS only once, and can then run it over and over
again.
This discussion has gotten off the Mandrake
theme. I'd suggest you repost over on a VmWare forum. I'd also agree
with Stephen, be **very** careful about guesting OSes installed in other
partitions on multi-boot systems. Back when I used VmWare, this wasn't
even supported due to the many risks (like completely hosing your guest OS
because you make the very easy mistake of accessing the guest OS file system
from your host OS - very difficult rule to remember to follow.) Good
luck.
