I would not point my WINE C: to an actual Windows installation C: drive - you're likely to end up with lots problems, if it works at all.
Run winecfg and create another drive letter pointing to /mnt/windows (let's say 'h:' for this example). Use that drive letter if you have to give your programs any paths. You can even create a batch script that executes when you start Windows that uses the 'assign' command to mirror h: to c: under Windows - in case an application stores full paths in an INI in the program directory. What I've always done on my home system is to install Windows on a separate partition from Windows applications (and put data on a third partition). By doing this, it was pretty easy for me to use the exact same drive letters for the apps under both WINE and Windows. -Jesse Peter Berg Larsen wrote: >I am missing the idear behind how devices are suppose to work. > >>From the wiki it seems that the dosdevices/c: is use when installing a >program under wine.
