And is this WRT your VMWare setup? Are you wanting to instead install Linux into it's own partition without the use of VMWare, or is this within the VMWare environment? I just responded to your other post, so I was curious on what this one is referring to?
It's a common request - you'll need to post more information - how many hard drives - which Linux distro - do you want a separate data partition that both OS's can access - do you want to use NTFS for XP or stick with the old FAT32
