Re: upgraded to vmWare Fustion 6 but cannot create from bootcamp

i tried all the above. and could never get past no bootcamp found. So i ended up manually creating bootcamp vmdks ... totally a pain but it worked:


I created  regular VMDK-based VM - then to make it a bootcamp VM, I replace the virtual disk (original VMDK) with the physical disk :

my C drive is the 4th partition on the main HD, so i used this  to create a vmdk that is really bootcamp partition.

 

this command will create the bootcamp VMDK.

 

/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 4 "Disk1" lsisas

 

this is what my vmx looks like (last 3 lines)

 

$ cat W7x64.vmx|grep scsi

scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "160"

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

scsi0.sasWWID = "50 05 05 62 0e f2 cb b0"

scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"

scsi0:0.fileName = "Disk1.vmdk"

scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"

scsi0:0.redo = ""

not elegant ... but it works now.
