Subject: Re: my fusion experiences:
Hey Scott. That happened to me. What I discovered was that fusion
brings up an authentication window, but doesn't take the focus into
it. The best thing to do is to go into your home folder and remove the
partial virtual machine, and start again, letting fusion configure the
bootcamp partition. I think it's in your username/library/application
support/vmware/bootcamp. Don't worry, it will just recreate a new
virtual machine. Then when it gives you that message about
preparation, bring up the window chooser and you'll find an
authentication window. get into that window and authenticate, then
wait for fusion to do all its configuring. you might have to wait some
time to let it install vmware tools as well, then it might restart the
virtual machine. Hope this helps.
Cheers
Thuy

on the topic of fusion, has anybody successfully virtualised their
bootcamp
partition?
I'm running fusion v1.1 here but whenever i try to virtualise my bootcamp
partition, i run the bootcamp machine from the library in fusion, it
tells
me its preparing the partition for use, and then just sits there
apparently
doing nothing for hours until i force quit. Next time I try, I always
get a
message giving a path to the virtual machine its just tried to create and
telling me its damaged.
If anyones had more luck than me i'd love to know about it. it'd be
handy
not to always need to reboot, but idealy I still want to keep bootcamp
there
for situations where I need a bit better performance out of the mbp.
