need help with wine hard drives

Post by strss »

Hi everyone.

Is there any way to add hard drive to my wine configuration in terminal, not using winecfg GUI?
For example, i need wine to use my /home/user/dir like local hard drive.

thanks for help.

Winecfg just makes symlinks in the wineprefix dosdevices directory. You can make these manually to point to whatever location you want to show up as a drive in Wine.

Thanks.
But it doesn't work for me. Maybe there are some settings in wine registry for hard drives.

And there is no new drive in winecfg Drives tab and in total commander under wine.
