Note that I use VMware grudingly, as it is not free software. However, I
can't really say anything bad about it's quality:
VMware does not ever require a separate partition, although it can use
one if you like. The typical way to install a virtual machine is to put
everything on a virtual disk. Using virtual disks (which are just files
in your filesystem of choice) also gives you the ability to version
sessions, revert changes, etc. If you need some help going through the
steps of setting up a virtual machine with a virtual disk, I can
probably help.
