BTW i edited my post to make it clearer.Ĭlick to expand.My first and only real issue is that I know you CAN install bootcamp on a separate internal drive with a single partition. Give it a try and let us know if you get it all installed. Try windows 10 if your not using that, sometimes having the newest software is best. If you can somehow get vmware to work without needing bootcamp then you can simply remove all the drives a do a simple windows install from the disk and then re-install the osx drive once its all setup.
Id suggest reformating the tiny partition though and change its name from bootcamp since your going to have the other drive with windows labeled as bootcamp. (Make this partition as small as you can)Ĥ) Hold down alt to boot into the cd-rom windows installerĦ) once windows has fully installed (make sure disk is labeled bootcamp), run updates then re-install your original drive.ħ) Then use disk utility to delete the extra partition from osx and resize it back.Ĩ) If that doesnt work the only thing left is to reformat the drive as 1 partition and do a restore.ĭoing step 8 could remove the ability for OSX from recognizing bootcamp as a bootcamp install and since you need that the only thing that i can suggest would be to leave that tiny partition alone and think of it as a required step in order to use VM ware through bootcamp on a separate drive. This is actually really easy if you dont use bootcamp, but since you need it to register that way for vmware to work try this.ġ) First things first, do a backup of your OSX drive with time machine, and backup your data encase something happens to that backupĢ) Then use bootcamp assist to create 2 partitions (bootcamp/osx).
From what i understand Bootcamp cant be installed on another drive it has to be installed on your main drive, so you have to trick it into working.
