	All the recommendations I've seen point to a fake windows install.  
The install docs for Wine seem to indicate that sharing the Windows 
partition can cause instability between Windows and Wine.

	FAT32.  I have a NTFS partition with Windows on it and wish I had 
done FAT32 there.  Linux does not have stable write support for NTFS, so 
if you want to be able to have read/write capabilities to the Windows 
partition from Linux/Wine you will have to use FAT32.
