Thanks in advance for your help!

As the title states, I have Windows 7 x64 Boot Camp Partition, Snow Leopard on MBP, and VMWare Fusion 2.x/3.x. I'm trying to open the partition as a vm and I get into an endless cycle where windows tries to Repair Start Up disk for a very long time before failing.

The boot camp partition runs fine natively.

Has anyone experienced this? Can someone provide or link a remedy? My google fu is failing miserably ....
