Yes it is. If you follow the procedure described page 105, the vmware-style image will not be copy of your original partition, it is simply a small file that refer to the original partition. If you use such a image, the virtual machine will read/write to the original physical disk (you have also the option to filter access according to partition number, although it has bugs). I use this feature to boot my linux partition alternatively under XP and on real (Linux can be more easily than Windows be configured to run on different hardware).
