Is a QEMU question:
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC19

I have tried that with QEMU running on Linux to read/write to Windows 98 directory and work fine.
But I do not know if that will run for Windows XP directory.

Also on DSL wiki there are a interesting method to transfer files between Embedded and host Windows system.

"
3.6.4 Virtual FAT disk images

QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a directory tree. In order to use it, just type:

qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory

Then you access access to all the files in the `/my_directory' directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is read-only.

Floppies can be emulated with the :floppy: option:

qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory

A read/write support is available for testing (beta stage) with the :rw: option:

qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory

What you should never do:

   * use non-ASCII filenames ;
   * use "-snapshot" together with ":rw:" ;
   * expect it to work when loadvm'ing ;
   * write to the FAT directory on the host system while accessing it with the guest system.
