For newbies, my recommendation would be to have 2 HDDs. One for Windows, and another for BSD.... just in case you screw up the installation, at least you won't lose your Windows installation. And you won't have to worry about re-partitioning your single HDD, especially if you had already installed Windows before the thought of installing BSD even arised.

Correct me if I'm wrong... VMware is proprietary software, right? I.e., not open source, hence you'd have to pay for the license. How much is the license, btw?
