Hello all, I am getting the error "The Boot Camp partition is not prepared to run as a virtual machine. It appears that Windows did not shut down cleanly the last time it was used." It goes on to explain a procedure to correct the error (please see the attached screen shot for the specifics) when attempting to use my Boot Camp partition in VMWare Fusion.
I have gone through the procedure numerous times to no avail. In searching these forums, I see some older posts about this, but nothing recent, and certainly nothing answered. I am wondering if anyone can lend some assistance with this issue.
For what its worth, the following are the specifics of my system;
MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz
200 GB Hitachi Drive, with a 60 GB NTSF Partition for Boot Camp
VMWare Version 1.1.3 (also tried the Beta version 2.0b1)
The Boot Camp volume, which works perfectly fine when booted directly to it is running Windows XP SP 3.
It was created using the Boot Camp Assistant, then I used Ghost to apply a standard corporate image.
The following is the log I get;
