don't think so, you still won't be able to read the BSD file system as vmware
does not host this in native (NTFS/FAT/FAT32 . . .) file system as far
as i am aware.  it uses a single large file to emulate (much like loopback
image) or a disk partition (same a multi-boot).

p.s.    not actually run it on win so i could be wrong but that's my
        understanding

you can, however, use ftp or other network transport between the file
systems - perhaps that would be enough?
