This machine is not bootable in windows.  The windows-native directory that's 
on it was copied over from another machine.  But see below.

Actually, the "real windows-dir" IS my win-dir in my wine.conf, the /windows 
directory already is my C drive, and so on.  So if I'm reading this 
correctly, wine picks up its registry from whatever is configured as the 
wine-dir in wine.conf rather than defaulting to the registry files in my 
~/.wine directory?
