1 MacOS Disk & 2 Boot Camp Disks - possible to use w/ Fusion?

I have a Mac Pro with 3 HDDs. Each has a single partition - Leopard, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008.

Try as I might (and messing with rawdiskCreator), I have not been able to get this to work. Has anyone? Suggestions?

1. IIRC Apple only supports one Boot Camp partition.

2. Neither of the OSes you have on the Boot Camp partitions are supported by Apple.

3. If Apple doesn't support it VMware doesn't support it.

4. Can it be done? Yes however because Apple doesn't guarantee the BSD Name of a Disk between reboots and VMware not taking this into account when designing Fusion this can be problematic.

If you're really interested in trying it then you'll need to provide more information as to specifically and exactly what you've tried and the exact verbiage of the output of any commands that you have run. Have a look at for the other information you should include.
