"The Disk is Not Ready"

Post by tootlet »

Greetings,
Running Xubuntu 8.04 on IBM R51 laptop with 1 Gb of RAM, 1.5 Ghz CPU. Downloaded and installed the latest wine from www.winehq.com. I installed Quicken 2007 without event. I wanted to restore a file from my Windows version of Quicken. I hit the radio button saying I'm not a new user and want to restore a file from the computer. I browse to the file and select it. Then I get a dailogue box saying:
"The Disk is not ready" I can use Notepad to create and save a file in drive_c. I tried chmod 777 /home/tootlet/.wine/Quicken thinking it was a permissions issue. Didn't work. Still "Disk is not ready". How do I get the disk ready?

Tried googling and reading some entries in winehq forums but didn't run across anything like this. I would appreciate any hints you might be able to provide.

Thanks,
Tom

Where is that file you are trying to open? Try copying to to Wine's "fake c:" drive (~/.wine/drive_c) and open it from there.

Greetings.
This had occurred to me and I had tried restoring file from the external hard drive where it was originally backed up, then from my home directory and finally from /.wine/drive_c. I get the same message:
"Disk not ready" in all cases. Thanks for the suggestion.
