WinXP Pro partition in VMWare Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Before upgrading to Hardy Heron, I had successfully set up VMWare player to use the windows partition as its virtual disk. This saves disk space. The problem in Hardy seems to be that it treats IDE drive as SCSI and therefore confuses windows when it is booted in VMWare. The solution to this is to install the vmware SCSI drivers while booted into Windows natively. You can then follow the other guides out there.
