Re: Run OS X 10.9 from a separate partition in a VM?

I tried to create the raw disk, but got the following result:

unknown20c9d045826f:Library mike$ sudo vmware-rawdiskCreator print "/dev/disk3"

Nr      Start       Size Type Id Sytem                  

-- ---------- ---------- ---- -- ------------------------

1          1 3906963455 BIOS EE Unknown

unknown20c9d045826f:Library mike$ sudo vmware-rawdiskCreator create "/dev/disk3" "1" "~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines/My\ Raw\ Disk" lsilogic

Unable to copy the source files to the destination files.

unknown20c9d045826f:Library mike$

How I determined it was /dev/disk3 is that when I right click on the partition I want to use in Path Finder and select "Get Info", it shows /dev/disk3s2" for the device.

Here is what is in my Virtual Machines folder:

cd /Users/mike/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized
