I haven't actually done this for real, but I nearly did so I can tell you how to do it :) Shut down windows in the VM, and then stop the VM. Got to Edit -> Virtual Machine Settings and click on "Add" at the bottom. Select hard disk, and then tell it to use a physical hard disk Tell it which one. Start the VM and boot XP - you should now have another disk. I have read warnings that this is only partly supported, but I think the probably affects booting from a physical disk rather than just reading from one. Hope this helps you. :) Paul.
