VMware shared folder

[Steve]

Hi,

I hope this isn't OT, but I have a question about running VMware in Ubuntu.

After setting up VMware in Ubuntu, I installed winxp as the guest OS, 
allocating the default 4GB and placed it on a FAT32 partition. Everything 
works great so far.

I created a folder on this FAT32 partition and chose it as my shared folder 
in VMware. I am able to access it within VMware/winxp. All is fine so far.

My problem is that in the guest OS (winxp) it says that there is only
3.5GBfree in this shared folder, even though I know that the drive has
over 10GB
free. Is there a setting somewhere that denotes the size of the shared 
folder in VMware? I could not find any. Is it an idiosyncrasy of the 
filesystem it is on (FAT32)? Is it a limitation of VMware?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

-Steve.
