Create a Virtual Machine from the Boot Camp Partition
Boot Camp is Apple software that enables a Mac to run Windows operating
systems. Boot Camp requires that you choose between Mac or Windows at
boot time. Boot Camp creates separate Mac and Windows partitions on your
hard disk to create a dual-boot environment. You can use your Windows
Boot Camp partition as a VMware Fusion virtual machine. This feature gives
you the following abilities:
 Use your Boot Camp virtual machine and your Mac without rebooting to
switch between them.
 Share files between your Boot Camp virtual machine and your Mac, through
shared folders, and by dragging and dropping files or cutting and pasting text.
NOTE You must have administrator privileges to use the Boot Camp as a
virtual machine.
