The last time I tried that option, VMware created an entire "disk" -- boot
block, partition table and all -- inside the partition. The created disk
stopped working when I moved from a 60 GB HD to a 120 GB HD. At the time, I
hypothesized that it its 64 GiB limit on virtual disk size applied to real
disks too, but that limit may be restricted to the antique version I use.
