Boot Camp not in Virtual Machine Library

Hi, I'm running Fusion, and have just downloaded 2.01. I decided to run this as a fresh install, as I have been running fusion since the beta, and wanted it to be 'clean'.

I uninstalled the v2, and reinstalled. Now my boot camp partition does not appear on the list in Virtual Machine Library.

How can I resolve this.

Ideally, I'd like to convert this to a 'proper' virtual Machine, but can't do that until I can run in Fusion.

Thanks

Have you rebooted your Mac system after installing VMware Fusion.

Hi, still unable to run my boot camp via fusion.

I've checked that the filesystem type is correct in FDISK.

Not sure if it has a bearing, but I've noticed that if I run the Startup Disk system preference, my bot camp partition is not listed. It looks as though my mac doesn't 'realise' that there is a boot camp partition, although if I hold dwn alt at boot time, the partition appears.

I did run (for a while) rEFIt as a boot loader, which may have a bearing.

Results of Fdisk are as follows:-

Disk: /dev/rdisk0 geometry: 19457/255/63

Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55

Can anyone help?
