Scott, While the CPU, Memory, video, ethernet, etc. are emulated, you can make VMware use a physical disk as a boot device. When you create the VM you have three options for disk stuf.. create a new virtual disk, use an existing virtual disk or use a physcial disk. If you choose to use a physical disk, it'll warn you that you're swimming out into deep water and then ask you if you wan to use the whole disk or a partition. So you'd want to choose partition and then choose the appropiate partition form which to boot from. XP *should* then boot up. However, it's going to be really pissed about the whole situation and you'll most definitely have to install the vmware tools. Hope that helps. Tim.
