Can someone help me create a shared folder/portal through which I can back up my quicken files to an external hard drive? I have an intel based Mac with a partition running XP SP2 using VMware. I have an external hard drive and need to backup my files to that hard drive.

Thanks.

From the VMWare Fusion Help menu, VMWare Fusion Help, Managing Virtual machines, Sharing Files Between Virtual Machines and Your Mac.

Take a look and see if that is sufficient for you.
