I'm not 100% sure, but I remember VMWare used to
support this functionality but with the version you're
running I don't think it's supported anymore.

Do you install the vmware-tools package for Windows XP
within that virtual session? because if anything would
have that package would.

When looking at the disk partitions in the virtual XP
machine, do you see other drives there or just the
virtual drive?
