Yes, thanks, I've since found that out by reading...verry, very interesting setup you have there, now that I comprehend what you described earlier.
So, you install Linux as OS, then you download a VMWare machine and then you install Windows in that? (That would install more than a few files, however.)....so, what did I not understand correctly here?
Pretty much.
The windows "disk" is actually a set of files in the Windows filesystem. VMWare makes Windows think it's a disk.
