If your filesytem in Windows is FAT32 i think you can mount that drive in linux.

Use samba to share a common area on your linux filesystem and mount it as a mapped drive in windows.

Just configure a "shared folder" in the VMware configuration. The VMware Help might be useful, so just press the F1 key when VMware is your focused application.
