Launching an X app and getting access to the local (win32) drives

This is a newbie question....

I have RH8 installed (actually in a VM under VMWare) and have installed the
cygwin/X on a Windows 2000 Pro box. After some work getting the X
configuration setup properly, from the cygwin bash shell, I am able to
telnet into my linux box, export the display, and run all of the X apps
correctly on the win32 machine.

Before telnetting into linux, the bash shell can see the local win32 drives,
but the telnet session (and the X application) can only see file space on
the linux machine. How do I make the local win32 drives available to the X
application?

Thanks for any help

Steve
