    I am running 3150 RC2. I have created a Windows XP VM which points to the Boot Camp partition. If I clone that VM, does the second VM also points to the same Boot Camp partition? If I run both VMs at the same time, will they cause data corruption in the Boot Camp partition?

    Hello, sidssp!
    You may run only one VM using your Boot Camp partition

    Archy,

    Thank you for your reply. So if I want to run two instances, I will need to create a second VM with a fresh install of Windows XP. Do I need to purchase a second license of Windows from Microsoft or do I just reactivate it like what I did with Boot Camp?

    It depend on your license of Microsoft Windows.
    Another installation is used the same hardware as your VM, so it can stand the Microsoft hardware test.
