"Booting the Windows partition" is called Boot Camp in Mac. Go read the
available documentation from Parallels and VMware Fusion searching for
"Boot Camp". I don't know about VMware, I expect it will boot a Boot
Camp partition. I run Parallels using my Boot Camp partition so I know
it will do what you ask.
