Hi Anouk, What you can do to access a drive formatted as extended journaled encrypted, is to make a hole in vmware, by simply sharing the root of the drive on the mac side. Go to fusion and then into settings, sharing. There, you can designate a folder or any drive for that matter, to become available inside windows. fusion will do the data passing between mac and windows ntfs. Hth, Paul.
