Can I use an ORDINARY from Mac account to load a Boot Camp Partition?

I read the following Article on loading a Boot Camp Partition to use as a Virtual Machine in VMWare Fusion:

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014618

I understand that I need administrator privileges to load a Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion.

But can I use a REGULAR account (Non Admin), raise my admin privileges by entering a username Admin and the password and then load my Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion?

The Article seems to imply no. because it refers only to enter an Admin password.  There is no mention to enter an Admin username.

Can someone confirm please if I can use an ORDINARY Mac account and load a Boot Camp partition in VMWare Fusion after entering a username Admin and the password.

Or am I have to use MAC Admin account in the first place?

When a non-administrator user accesses an Admin-level feature in OS x, the user is presented with a combination of user name and password to authenticate.

Then, indeed, as long as you can type the user and passes an admin user, you should be able to use BootCamp with Fusion.

  • Can I use Lightroom on my mac and my pc at the same time with a single subscription?

    Hi all

    for five months now, I have a subscription to creative cloud for Lightroom and Photoshop. So far, I used just on my PC. Now I have bought me a MAC and want to install Lightroom on MAC either. Do I need a second subscription for MAC or can I use my subscription on MAC and PC at the same time?

    thx for your comments

    If you ask if you can run the software subscription on both machines at the same time, the answer is no.  Your license you can only use one of the facilities at any given time.

    If you ask that if you have the software installed and that can be used on both machines so the answer is Yes... just can not both machines in use, software subscription running at the same time.

  • Cannot use Win8 Boot Camp partition for vm installation

    So I have a new installation of Windows 8 RTM (from TechNet!) new in Boot Camp. However, Fusion 4.1.3 both the Tech Preview will be forever stuck on 'Partition of preparation to present itself as a virtual machine

    Fusion 5 supports Windows 8 Boot Camp.

    The problem, I think you saw, a failure to "VMware Fusion is preparing to present itself as a virtual machine" can be caused by the State of the Windows registry. While I do not have a fix for this right now (us have a bug filed and work on it), I have a workaround.

    The problem occurs after the Boot Camp virtual machine has been put in place, but before it is turned on for the first time as a virtual machine. Fusion strives to insert registry keys and allow drivers to the boot device, and in some situations, it is unable to do. To work around the problem, you can add these keys and activations of pilot (!) manually, under Boot Camp itself. They do not interfere with the help of Boot Camp natively.

    If the problem occurs, you should

    (1) find the folder/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/reconfig.iso and open it in OS X, which will mount the ISO.

    (2) copy the 'bootcamp.reg' on the ISO file and copy it to a folder on your Mac, or on a USB key. We will have this file from Windows.

    (3) restart your Mac under Bootcamp native.

    (4) from Windows, find the file bootcamp.reg where you saved it and double click to add these settings in the registry.

    (5) restart your Mac under OS X, start the merge and recreate the machine virtual Boot Camp.

    (6) it is likely that it will fail again at the stage of the "preparation of your virtual machine", but it is more critical because the necessary settings have been added to the register already. What to do, is prevent the Fusion to remove the virtual machine when you acknowledge the failure. We will do this by renaming the virtual machine.

    (7) when the Committee alert error is displayed, use Terminal or Finder to rename the virtual computer. You will find the Boot Camp virtual machine in your home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Note that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, so the simplest to get this folder of the Terminal, no viewfinder. If you want to do the renaming via the Finder, open a Terminal window and enter the command "open ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp" and Finder opens the folder normally hidden for you. Rename all of the Boot Camp virtual machine, which will prevent the Fusion to remove it as a failure, then acknowledge the alert Panel. You can rename the VM Boot Camp to 'Boot Camp', or simply drag it to the library of VM merger under the name that you gave.

  • How can I move XP on Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine on a new iMac?

    Yesterday, I bought a new iMac to replace an iMac Core Duo older. I was running XP on Boot Camp partition and using Fusion to access. As the new iMac custom supports XP on Boot Camp partition, I want to use VMWae Fusion to run XP in a virtual machine on the new computer. Is there a way to get the current state of XP (with all the security and the SP3 updates) now on my Boot Camp partition, more than one virtual machine on the new computer?

    No offense intended... Have you even read the linked web page and or documentation of Paragon go virtual?

    In short, could start the Boot Camp partition natively, install and run Paragon go virtual to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Boot Camp partition and run the resulting Virtual Machine with VMware Fusion on the new Mac.

    Then you can do what you want with the old computer after deleting the partition Boot Camp with Boot Camp Assistant as you can't keep physical installation on the old system if your running a virtual copy of it on another system without purchasing another license from Microsoft.  Also, you will need to reactivate Windows XP and other software that follows what material it was initially installed on the virtual machine.

    Note: You can even create a Virtual Machine from the Boot Camp partition with VMware Fusion in two different ways, or even to use VMware vCenter Converter such as the use of virtual Paragon to go however I strongly recommend using Paragon go virtual methods due to what I consider a major flaw in the way they create the virtual hard disk when you use the command import on the Boot Camp partition and a rate higher failure by using the other methods/software VMware VMware compared to Paragon go virtual.  For the non-technical user Paragon go virtual is the best way to go IMO and the entire process usually takes less time, then the methods of VMware.

  • Using Boot Camp Partition

    When I'm in the Virtual Machine library I press the start upward on my Boot Camp partition and this message

    Cannot open disk ' / Users/rickyoder/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.     Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk of the virtual machine, and then add it again. »

    How can I fix this so that my Bootcamp will work?  I tried to click on rt and remove the boot camp partition, but this option is grayed out and wont allow.

    Thank you

    Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.  * Note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the partition Boot Camp, Virtual Machine, and it should not have then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well.

    1. If the merger is open, close it.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition.

    3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

    Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

    Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

  • Can I install the same Windows 7 as a Boot Camp partition AND a VM regular partion?

    I've been running Windows 7 regular valuation as a VM partion.  Now that it is officially released, I bought a copy and I upgraded my Vista to Windows 7 partition and then I start under Boot Camp or Fusion 3 lets start the boot camp partition.  Starting time on a partition Boot Camp is a bit longer than on a normal partition of VM, so I find myself most of the time with the assessment of partition of the VM, but in June, it will go away.  Could I take the installation disk that I used for the Boot Camp and install it also as a regular virtual machine, or which will cause insurmountable problems for activation?  I hate to have to buy another copy of Windows 7 just to get a faster speed when I don't want to use the complete as machine when I boot Boot Camp.  Sometimes, I have to give Windows the power of the machine, so don't want to only install as a virtual machine.

    Ask yourself if someone illegally active copy of Windows?  This would be a pretty Brave soul to admit illegal activities.  :-\

    You only have one license for Windows if you are only allowed to have a single installation to be activated at any time.  Activate a second time to remove any other installation that uses the same license (aka product key), by the Windows EULA.  Another thing is the violation of the EULA.

    The 'Microsoft police' will come knocking at your door?  Who knows.  Microsoft has billions of dollars and could very well decide to use some of those dollars to make an example of a person, like how the RIAA did to people he considers pirates.    It of ultimately your decision whether to violate the EULA or not.

  • Can I use time capsule from Apple and an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac at the same time to save?

    I have an external hard drive (1 TB ADATA HV620) and a time capsule of Apple 2009. So far I have used the external drive-DATA to back up regularly on my Mac, but it uses one of my USB slots. I would like to start using the time capsule from Apple to everything back up, as it does so wireless, but I still want to be able to back up by using the ADATA hard drive occasionally. Is it possible to use two devices to back up or can I use only one device? Thank you.

    You can use the two devices, but Time Machine... If that's what you use to back up... can back up only to a disc at a time. So if you set up Time Machine to back up on both discs, it will support drive until one first, then the other after the first drive of the backup is complete.
