I am dual-booting windows and linux. I switched over almost entirely to linux. I wanted to render a model I made in 3ds max, so I used mount --bind to use my real C drive as my wine C drive. Unfortunately, that ruined windows. I eventually got the model to render in blender, but I still want windows to work. How can I fix windows?

I guess you didn't read the FAQ:
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-497f1a2 ... 2c7767afa2
Basically, you're screwed and should reinstall windows.

The part about pointing to your actual C drive is new (I looked yesterday). They should have it detect whether it's the actual c drive (check for non-wine system files, such as ntdetect.com) and warn you.
I have another windows system. I just need to know which critical parts to replace. They should have a page on repairing windows if you used your actual C drive.

It says it requires a reinstall. Copying files from an existing windows installation is like a partial reinstall.

Then you didn't look very well, because it was already there when I joined the forum, and that was almost 4 years ago. Quote: I have another windows system. I just need to know which critical parts to replace. Everything Wine puts in the wineprefix when it creates it. Quote: They should have a page on repairing windows if you used your actual C drive.
Don't blame others for your own negligence. If you know enough to do something like mount --bind, you are advanced enough to understand the consequences, and should know how to fix it yourself.

What you said sparked an idea. I can replace the files and folder that wine creates. I've already replaced some (system32 and explorer.exe), so I just need to finish replacing the rest of windows.
I am very curious. I happened to find mount --bind in man mount. It's not like i know all (or anything close to all) there is to know about linux.
THE WORST FAIL EVER: playing around with a partition editor and accidentally creating a new partition table (which destroys all partitions on the hard drive)
NEVER PLAY WITH PARTITION EDITORS

I eventually had to give up and reinstall. I'm sending this from windows.
