Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add Hardware -> Yes, I have already connected the hardware -> You'll then be presented with a list, scroll to the bottom 'Add a new hardware device' -> Install the hardware that I manually select from a list -> SCSI and RAID Controllers -> Have Disk -> Browse to where ever you copied the files we unpacked from the floppy image under Linux. When you start booting Windows you should be presented with a DOS-Like menu. Also, on that same screen enable 'Wait Until I select a hardware profile'.Ħ) Reboot your computer.

The most publicized attempt was made 'digg famous' here: Running a Windows Partition in VWware - they all fall flat in various ways. There have been a few attempts at documenting the process of running a windows install directly from the hard disk via VMWare running on a GNU/Linux host.
