    So you have a machine with Ubuntu already, and you want to dual-boot out of Ubuntu and into Windows, then use vmware to run Ubuntu from within Windows and access the existing Ubuntu partition?

    AFAIK, programs like vmware create emulated hard drives – basically large files on the PC. In other words, I have vmware set up a 10gb “hard drive file” on my PC. In Windows, it looks like a single file, but from within my virtual OS, it looks like a regular hard drive.

    Programs like vmware normally just emulate the actual PC hardware and don’t let the OS running within access to the “real” components, so I don’t imagine it would give you access to a “real” ubuntu partition, either.

    FWIW, I have installed kubuntu on Microsoft’s VirtualPC – there were some display problems.
