"static" drive mapping

Post by wisfan »

Hello,

I am running the version of Wine that came with Ubuntu 9.04. I would like to have a permanent, or static, drive mapping to a second internal hard drive (/media/disk). I go into the GUI of Wine Configuration to create the mapping, but it is not static. I download larger files to that drive as to not clutter my main hard drive. Ubuntu always mounts the drive upon boot, but no matter what I've done, the drive (in my case, G:) always disappears. Please assist a new user in making this drive mapping permanent. Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me if this has been asked previously.

Map it manually to something higher then G, ex:

Code: Select all

ln -s /media/disk ~/.wine/dosdevices/y:
Winecfg picking the next available disk which probably conflicts with one of your cdroms.
