I can get vmware to open up the raw disk and display the MBR partitions so I can set ro/rw etc for each one but when it tries to boot the OS in the partition it complains that it is not a raw device. Anyone managed to use a raw partition on a SCSI disk? I've got a 20Gb NTFS disk that I'd really like to access from vmware :-( Paul.
