Thanks We Jie, yes, this solution is simple and elegant. At first i just
couldn't access the shared folder from XP (keeps popping up the username
and password prompt without reason. How useful.), and after some
searching, found that i needed to run smbpasswd to assign a samba
password to the linux username. It works fine now.
Thanks and Regards,
Edwin

Hi,
I'm not sure about how to set up VMWare to access a real partition,
but you could set up a samba server on your physical machine, and
access the drive as a Windows network drive.

Subject: [Slugnet] Accessing "Real" Partition From Within VM
Hi all,
i have XP installed on VMWare Server on Ubuntu. Is it possible to
have
the XP access one of the real partitions (formatted FAT32) as
though it
is a drive within the virtual machine itself? How?
Happy 2008 in advance!
Thanks and Regards,
Edwin
