How to access files in Macintosh HD from XP (Bootcamp partition) on VMware fusion

I can't access Macintosh HD from XP on bootcamp partition. MacDrive7 installed in the XP doesn't work in vm-ware virtual machine.

Is it possible to open files in Macintosh HD from XP (Bootcamp partition) on VMware fusion?

Assuming you are running the Bootcamp Partition under Fusion when you're asking this question (if you are booted into Bootcamp I can't help you). Why not just use the File sharing provided by Fusion? With the Virtual Machine selected in Fusion go to the Virtual Machine->Settings menu / item. Click on the Sharing icon (I'm assuming you are using Fusion 2.0.x) and set up to share whatever folders on your Mac with the VM.
