We all know VMWare Workstation is pretty much the norm for virtualization. With it you could create virtual machines, basically an installation of an Operating System running in an emulator. It’s not just any emulator though, if configured correctly it could run at nice speeds. It has network support and all that great stuff.
Well, I just found out that you can also access existing partitions with it. So say you dual boot, with Linux on one Partition and Windows on the other. I usually do so when I’m programming (Yes I know you can use Mingw Tools to cross compile but I prefer the Windows Environment), and it gets annoying have to restart just to do or try something. Now I am able to access my Linux partition and actually run it from within VMWare. This is really neat 
Take a look for yourself here.
