VMware Workstation 3.2
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows .NET Server support a new disk type called a dynamic disk. Dynamic disks use a proprietary Microsoft format for recording partition information. This format is not publicly documented and thus is not supported for use in raw disk configurations under VMware Workstation.
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows .NET Server also support the older type of partition table, on what are designated as basic disks.
You can use the disk management tool to check the type of disk used on your Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows .NET Server host and, if it is a dynamic disk, change it to basic.
Caution: If you change a dynamic disk to a basic disk, you lose all data on the disk.
Use this procedure to convert a dynamic disk to a basic disk.
