Hi Puqing,
Thanks for the suggestion, i have found this option, but it gives me
some difficulties. i run vmware as a normal user, not root, so when i
tried to configure it to use a physical partition, it gives me the error
message that i have no permission to access the disk, and i definitely
don't want to start vmware server as root.
The samba option seems to work well.
Thanks and Regards,
Edwin

As I remember, vmware supports using physical disk/partition in the
vm, doesn't it? Just "add a device" and choose a physical disk.
Not very sure, though. Maybe you can give it a try.

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
