I am trying to add a physical disk as an IDE disk to a virtual machine with VMWare Fusion. For that, I use vmware-rawdiskCreator to create a .vmdk file that will represent a connection to my external hard drive, following the procedure at TechReminders: Add physical disk to VMware Fusion guest OS. It seems to go well (no errors), but when booting the VM there is an error window ("Operation not permitted" : "Cannot open the disk '...MyVM.vmwarevm/rawDiskFile.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Module 'Disk' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine."). Looking at the vmware.log file within the virtual machine file I see these types of errors:

Any idea would be great!
