Hi. I know I have seen many, many posts online about using Bootcamp but here is my situation. Again, sorry if this is already addressed - I have searched for a long time, read many of Woodyz's posts and others, etc....
I have a triple boot MBP - rEFIt on /dev/disk0s1, Snow Leopard on /dev/disk0s2 (HFS+), Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (NTFS) on /dev/disk0s3, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 (ext4) on /dev/disk0s4.
I only want (well for now) to be able to run Fusion from Mac to run Windows (Visual Studio is the main reason and others in my group are windows people).
This is what I have tried:
1.) unmounted /dev/disk0s3 from Disk Utility
2.) /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 3 WIN764 lsilogic (once tried ide)
3.) Ran Fusion Version 4.1.3 (730298) to get:
New -> Continue -> Create a custom virtual machine -> etc. etc. which places a vmwarevm folder in the Virtual Machines localized...
4.) I then edit, with a mac editor (nano), the vmx file in there to add:
scsi0:1.present = “TRUE”
scsi0:1.virtualDev = “lsilogic”
scsi0:1.fileName = “../WIN764.vmdk” (because the 2 files created by rawdiskCreator are just above this vmwarevm folder.
When all this is done I just get the DHCP rotating bar and it says no operating system is found.
I can't seem to find step-by-step instructions for those of us who don't use bootcamp.....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Steve
