I'm use /dev/hda5 from real linux also for coLinux. This is the line in 
config.xml:
     <block_device index="5" path="\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4"
     alias="hda5"
     enabled="true" />

Remember: Extended Partion was not count under WinXP, so windows use 
partion4 and linux is hda5 (the first partion in extended partion).

Verify the size on boot, before you use this!
