winefile and winecfg are reporting drives not in dosdevices

Post by dansawyer »

Good morning. I am trying to run an application that is sensitive to reported devices being available. Dosdevices has two drives configured c: and h:. However winefiles is finding a drive p:. I have no idea where winefiles is finding this drive. When the application attempts to run it errors.

winecfg is configured to show only drive c and drive h. However I use the autoconfig feature it also pulls in a set of additional drives.

1. Where beyond dosdevices dose wine pick up drives
2. How can these additional drives be removed.

Thanks in advance. Dan

The two drives you should have by default are c: and z:, and if you removed the latter, that could be the reason your app is failing.

Wine's autodetect will assign drive letters to any mounted partitions, including removable media.
