    Here's a question that I posted in the Installation & Configuration forum but probably should have posted here. Sorry for the double posting....

    Is it possible to select a pre-existing Windows partition to be the basis for my virtual machine? I don't necessarily mean a Boot Camp partition because my particular Mac is running several copies of Windows independently of Boot Camp (in fact, Boot Camp isn't even involved now. I had to take it out of the equation because it only seemed to support one Windows volume).

    I've figured out from the Setup process that I can either select a Boot Camp Windows volume OR I can do a fresh install. What if I don't want either of those? Suppose I just want to select some other (already existing) Windows volume that's not under the control of Boot Camp? Is that possible?
