HT3986 Trying to use my WindowsXP version with my 27-in. iMac, and I can't see  seem to locate the Windows XP, except under the vmware application and it posts this msg:  "

I have Windows XP installed on  my IMac but can't seem to find it except under VMware and then it has this error message: There is no application set to open the document “Windows XP Professional-s001.vmdk”.  How do I get Windows XP to work?  Should I purchase a whole new Windows pkg?  Also, my computer came with Bootcamp Assistant, so is this as good a partition as vmware?  What does anyone know about the new Windows 8 coming out next week and how it works on a Mac!

Windows is not a free product, neither is VMware, I assume that you own these (you bought them and have licenses for them) as you may be reinstalling and will need the license to do that.
If you don't have licensing for them I cn't help you.
