When the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine boots for the first time after this VMware Tools may want to or will install/update and reboot the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine. (This is necessary to unmount the Boot Camp partition for Fusion to have direct access to it.) "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your Name and Password then click OK. Next, an Authenticate dialog box appears. Next, one should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion is preparing your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. although it doesn't really matter as both events should occur. Note: The next two events can be reversed depending on Fusion 1.x or Fusion 2.x. Start Fusion (/Applications/VMware Fusion) and select Boot Camp partition on the Virtual Machine Library window and then start the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine. Rm -dfr "/Users/$ /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines"ģ. Also be sure you copy the entire command line below, as is, from "rm" at the beginning to the " (quote) after the s in Machines. Note: This does not effect the Boot Camp partition install of Windows in that it doesn't delete it. In a Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste the following command, as is, and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine meta-data and the Helper Virtual Machine. (With Fusion closed if the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine Package is over 1 MB in size then you could have a Snapshot in place and do not proceed with these directions.)Ģ. *Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 could accidentally have a Snapshot with the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine and it shouldn't have been allowed to, so you should check to make sure that condition does not exist as well. ![]() Note: These steps assume you have a single Apple default install of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and a single default VMware Fusion Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine (without a snapshot*) and if you have modified the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine to add additional Hard Drives either Virtual or RAW Disk then do not use these directions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine Package first. Note: These direction are different then what have previously been posted so read and follow through.
