Why are you trying to partition a vmware drive?
The correct way to setup vmware is to create a virtual disk (a few 100Mb will do) and allocate the space for this drive upon creation. You then install ROS into this. ROS needs to play no part in creating partition, it only needs to format the partition created by vmware. ROS is quite stable in vmware and qemu at the moment.

Hi All, I checked out the source again yesterday and built a fresh iso (bootcd). And again i find the same issue i.e "partition signature != 55AA" error while trying out the created iso with VMware.
Has anybody else tried the same way? My objective is to compile the reactos iso from source first. Then plan to add applications and try to fix some bugs in my free time. For that i feel its better to use VMware instead of running fresh install (also i dont have spare machine to do fresh installation).
Is the current builds working in QEMU?

You have a corrupted MBR or partition table. Reinstall ReactOS and do proper partitioning.
Hm, Hm... It's not so simply. I got same error with _fresh-installed_ ReactOS.
