Sorry, your question is very hard to follow and understand. Please clarify.

You say "i use of VMware workstation"....VMware esx? Server? What? On what hardware? You also say "i didn't install linux", well how are you using Linux then?? And WHAT version/distro of "the linux" are you using??

Thx for reply,
sorry for inconvenience, my English language isn't good.
installed software is VMware worksation 5.5.2. a pic of this software is attached.
my operation system is Win Xp. one of my friends gave a DVD which contained a zip file entitled Linux. after extracting this file on hard, i opened a file (SUSE Linux.vwx) via "Open existing VM or Team " that is depicted in attached pic.

Thus without Linux installation, i can use of this OS(SUSE 9) through Win Xp. now i want to mount drives of windows(C:,D:,....) in the Linux and write and read of drives through Linux. But hen i use of fdisk -l, unfortunately no any drive can be shown, thus mounting is impossible. Now how can i define existing drives in windows to Linux and mount them?
