Bootcamp does not show up?

[charring]

Forgive this question if it has already been posted, but I could not find an answer. I just downloaded Build 43733 and installed it. I already have bootcamp with fresh install of XP on a seperate 250gb drive in my Mac Pro, but when I launch fusion, it does not show the Boot Camp partition as a VM to launch.

OSX 10.4.9

Mac Pro, 2.66ghz, 2gb RAM

(1) 500gb drive that I boot OS/X from

(2) 500gb drives formatted at a RAID 0

(1) 250gb drive for bootcamp with fresh install of Windows XP

Any ideas?

This is expected - the current incarnation of BootCamp support only works for installs on the same disk as the one you booted OS X from. Support for other configurations (such as yours) is in the works. See for example Boot Camp not recognized[/url].

OK...I kind of figured that's what it was. I'll keep my eyes open for the next release to see if it is addressed.

BTW, I set it up this way originally to try to get Parallels to work with Bootcamp, but it is failing miserably. I am hoping that VMWare works better with Bootcamp once I can get it configured.

Thanks!

I have the identical setup you have and the latest version of Parallels Workstation will boot a Boot Camp partition that is on a separate hard drive. Hopefully VMWare will fix this in their next release (fingers crossed).

Actually Boot Camp 1.2 supports disks other than the one that you have currently booted too. Here is a link from Apples Boot Camp site demonstrating this: http://images.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/images/choosepartition080806.jpg

I meant Fusion's[/i] support for BootCamp setups is limited. Still, it's good to have the reference to encourage the devs to support more configurations.
