Removed drive, Wine wont open any files now.

Post by DeusExM1 »

Okay so i read up somewhere that Wine can open viruses and so people there recommended to disable one of the drives. I forgot which one it was the default one (NOT C). I think it was \\Z or something like that.

In any case, now i cant install any EXE files and i cant add the drive back up. What to do?

I have the latest version wine. also when i run a program the mouse clicker turns into the white ubuntu circle and just turns, but nothing happens.

By removing z: -> / mapping you prohibited Wine from accessing any files outside of ~/.wine/drive_c directory. To restore run:

Code: Select all

ln -s / ~/.wine/dosdevices/z:
