How can I see other partitions of my hard drive from the software running inside CrossOver?

I install CrossOver 7.02, but I have a problem that really bothers me.
When I run a software inside crossover, I can only access the virtual C drive and the partition which has the Mac os inside and I can not access the fat32 partition which I use to store almost all my data files. But it is really strange that I can see my flash drive.
Could anyone tell me how I can access that fat32 partition?

Crossover can only browse into directories that are accessible through your finder and connected in some way to your Mac OS partition. When you plug your flash drive into your machine with the Mac OSX partition running the flash drive is mounted on the Mac, and thus Crossover can see it. Your Fat32 partition is wholly separate from your Mac OSX as far as Crossover is concerned. I'm afraid you'll need to copy any files that you need from the Fat32 partition to the Mac partition, or to a flash drive/external HD.

The drive may be mounted under /Volumes in the Mac OS, and if it is you can try accessing the Z:\ drive in your Windows program and see if you can navigate to the other drive/partition.

Thank you so much.
I figured that out. I can indeed access my Fat32 volume though Z:\volume.
