5 I setup my system to dual boot w/ Vista and Gentoo. I'd like to setup
6 VMWare to use this partition, so I can have access to the same stuff
7 whether I'm in Vista or via VMWare.
8
9 Despite all the warnings and exhortations by VMWare, I plowed ahead, but
10 quickly ran into two issues.
11
12 First, If I just use the partition that Vista is installed on, then I
13 get a Grub Error and no boot is attempted.
14
15 Second, to get around that, I have VMWare use the whole disk. The grub
16 screen is displayed, I select Vista, and it begins booting only to blow
17 apart on a blue screen. VMWare restarts so quickly that I can't really
18 see it.

20 Any ideas?
