i think the original poster is making the common mistake of thinking he has to create an entire filesystem of some type for the vmware install.
in this case, you just need to create one ***big*** single file that vmware will take over from there. you know -- a 1 or 2 Gig file for the entire OS install.
No, not even that. You go into VMWare, tell it to create a new machine, and it creates a new file which will hold that machine. You tell it the maximum size that "virtual disk" will ever be allowed to reach (say, 10GB), but the file takes up on the REAL disk only as much as the size of its contents. In the case of a new install, that may be 1GB or so.
