I have Windows 7 installed on my MacBook Pro via Boot Camp.
When in OSX I use VMware Fusion to boot my Boot Camp Partition when I need to quickly use Windows without rebooting.
My question is, Can I boot natively into Windows 7 and use VMware Workstation to run my OSX Partition.
I know you can install OSX as a separate VM in Windows, but I want it to use my OSX Partition like Fusion uses the Windows Partition and doesnt create a separate VM.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I believe only Mac OS X Server works in VMware unless you're using some hacked version.

What Brad said. Only OS X Server's licensing terms allow virtualization.
