I was part of the disk group when my MBR was overwritten because I'd
been doing some work on the
drives and don't like sudo. Isn't it still a bug in wine that the MBR
was overwritten in the first
place, even if I'm in the disks group or running as root?
If sudo is too much pain (and it
, calculate it's
checksum and see whether it differs or not.
BTW, after the Alexandre reply about volume changing I guess this possibly
should be partition boot sector that is destroyed, not a MBR.

Seorge, can you explain, how did you exactly restored MBR using GRUB,

I've booted with grub-floppy, then when the system was up, I executed
'grub-install /dev/hda'.

fiddle with wine, one step at a time , running the following check at
each step, keeping notes on what is done each time.

I've removed my previous .wine dirrectory, so the only thing I can do is to
reproduce everything happend with me
Please tell me, what exact information should I provide the developers with
the experiment described below.
I really want to help, but I also don't want to play with my data without
understanding what exactly is needed from me.

If you run WINE only as user (not as root) this just cannot happen.
Well, except if (as in my old Slackware install), the access rights for the
disk are like this:
brw-rw 1 root disk 3, 0 Apr 28 1995 /dev/hda
And that the user is in the 'disk' group.

Hello,
I think I still didn't make myself clear. Yes there is (I guess) a bad
bug in Wine. But: giving normal users a right to write to /dev/hd? is
very dangerous and should be avoided.
Exactly, I second this. For example, in my standard Linux setup, the disks
