I believe you must first install Windows in a virtual disk of your VM, and then setup access to your
Windows hard disk partitions. At least that is what worked for me. Afaik, you cannot use the same boot
partition for native Windows and Windows in a VM.

I am using 4.1-RELEASE and vmware2 straight from the ports.
