I recently installed a trial version of VMWare Fusion on my mac book.
I created a new virtual directory, installed windows xp, and all other
programs I needed on it. I didn't click suspend. And now it is ALL
lost. Even my important data I spent 2 days working on. Is this
recoverable?!?

Thanks

(You spent two days entering "important data" without doing *any*
backups as you were going along?)

What did you do that it's "all lost"?  Failure to suspend your VM before
quitting VMware would not have deleted your Windows installation.  There
is a small chance it may have corrupted it such that it won't boot any
more, but the worst that usually happens is that you lose any unsaved
open documents you were working on.
