question about VMware fusion, i have mac osx on one hard drive and vista on a seperate can i run fusion to axccess windows while on the mac just by installing fusion, or do i actually have to install windows while using fusion in order for it to work properly, thanks

That's what i'd like to know too =)

Yes it''s possible at least with VMWare Fusion.
My Windows installation partition is seen as a "Boot Camp Partition" and I can use it as a VM.

Just Installed fusion and it recognized my other harddrive at boot camp partition and now it works, freaking awesome

now my other question, is there a vmware the runs on windows so i can do the same thing only on windows? thanks

@eagle... should be on their website (vmware's). I'm pretty sure there is. Great to hear that you are able to access your Windows Partition (dedicated) through VMWare.
