VMWare wont accept my Bootcamp Drive

I just changed my Windows Drive format to NTFS using cmd as I was told NTFS was better. After doing so, I tried to turn on my Bootcamp drive in VMWare, but when I did, it told me that since my last use, the partition table had been changed and to remove the drive from the virtual machine and put it back in. So I had no idea what to do. I went to App Support, Virtual Machines and found my BootCamp .vmwarem and moved it to the trash. After that I went back into VMWare and tried again. I double clicked on the icon and it said that it was preparing the drive for use by VMWare. So I waited a few minutes and then, it said that my Windows Drive had not been shut down properly and to go into bootcamp and do so. So I did. When I came back it said the exact same thing over and over. At this point I was getting pretty pissed of. So then I had the idea that it might be the fault of VMWare Beta 2, so I uninstalled that and reloaded 1.1.2. The same problem again. What on earth is going on? Is there any way to fix this? Can I somehow make VMWare not care that I "didn't shut down properly"?

Any Help would be appreciated as I need to use my Windows side for school, but don't have time to reboot back and forth into bootcamp.
