Can I set up a VM Host's drives to appear as if they belong to the VM OS?

A couple things. I added two of the host drives to the shared drives area of the VM. Neither of them show up in the VM's OS.

What I actually would like to do is configure two of these drives that are on the host OS to appear as if they are on the VM. So that I can share them through the VM. Sounds wonkey, I know. The VM is Windows Server 2008 and the Host is Mac OSX Lion. I would like to host my media drives through windows server rather than over OSX as I have nothing but problems.

I'm not sure if this is possible. Any input?
