No, you can make vmware use your existing windows install, but you've
got to do it right. First boot into windows and create a few new
hardware profiles. (Have a few to screw up before you break
something.;)) Then set up a virtual machine which uses an existing
physical disk (hda1 probably) rather than the virtual disk. When windows
boots tell it you in profile xyz and it will reconfigure itself for the
video, etc it finds in the vmware environment.

This way you can boot into windows native and let it run with your abc
video, sound card, other hardware, or start windows in vmware and let it
use the vmware xyz hardware.  All the same software available in both
environments.
