Hi
I installed on my Macbook Air 2013 (the one with the PCI-Express SSD) a Windows 8 Bootcamp that works well.
But VMware Fusion doesn't detect it.
I made some tests and searches within this forum and this is what I found.
The partition is well registered with GPT (this is the partition ID 4) :
sudo gpt -r show /dev/disk0
Password:

0 1 PMBR
1 1 Pri GPT header

But fdisk can't see the partition details :
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
disk /dev/disk0
Disk: /dev/disk0 geometry: 60821/255/63 [977105060 sectors]

Same thing for the vmware-rawdiskCreator command (I think the problem comes from here) :
sudo ./vmware-rawdiskCreator print /dev/disk0
Nr Start Size Type Id Sytem

./vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 4 /Users/aurelien/BootCamp.vmwarevm/bootcamp_partition ide
Unable to determine partition start sector(s).
As the GPT table seems correct I suspect a problem with the type of SSD, where the legacy tools such as fdisk and vmware-rawdiskCreator can't read properly the partition settings
Any idea ?
