In my experience, trying to use the windows partition for booting inside and
outside VMWare never worked:

   - OEM instalation boots native, but doesn't boot inside vmware
   - VMWare installation in hardisk partition, as a native installation,
   boots on VMWare but it doesn't in native

I've never investigated why this happens. If somebody set up this
configuration would be nice how to do it.
