When I issued the ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices command I noticed that it was listing drives/partitions that don't exist anymore. I've changed hard drives and partitions more than a few times since I installed linux and wine. Should have been obvious that I check that directory for old dosdevices. Anyway here's the output of the command before I deleted the obsolete entries: Code: ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 dlanor78 dlanor78 4096 2008-03-30 00:28 . drwxr-xr-x 5 dlanor78 dlanor78 4096 2008-03-30 01:30 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 10 2007-09-29 01:38 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 5 2007-09-29 01:39 d: -> /home lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2007-09-29 01:39 e: -> /media/drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2007-09-29 01:39 f: -> /media/drive_q lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 13 2007-09-29 01:39 g: -> /media/cdrom0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 13 2007-09-29 01:39 h: -> /media/cdrom1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2007-09-29 01:39 i: -> /home/dlanor78 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 15 2008-03-29 19:01 j: -> /media/OldLinux lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 8 2007-09-29 20:46 j:: -> /dev/sdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 13 2008-03-29 19:41 k: -> /media/cdrom0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 9 2007-10-01 20:53 k:: -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 9 2007-10-01 20:53 l:: -> /dev/scd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 11 2007-10-15 15:27 m: -> /media/sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 11 2007-10-15 15:27 n: -> /media/sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2007-10-15 15:27 o: -> /media/floppy0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 8 2007-12-20 01:29 p: -> /media/n lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 8 2008-02-01 22:42 q: -> /media/c lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 17 2008-02-01 22:42 r: -> /media/Misc Stuff lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 1 2007-09-29 01:38 z: -> / and after cleaning up: Code: ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 dlanor78 dlanor78 4096 2008-03-30 01:36 . drwxr-xr-x 5 dlanor78 dlanor78 4096 2008-03-30 01:36 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2008-03-30 01:36 a: -> /media/floppy0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 10 2007-09-29 01:38 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 5 2007-09-29 01:39 d: -> /home lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 13 2008-03-30 01:36 e: -> /media/cdrom0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 9 2008-03-30 01:35 e:: -> /dev/scd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 13 2008-03-30 01:36 f: -> /media/cdrom1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 16 2008-03-30 01:36 g: -> /media/New Drive lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 14 2007-09-29 01:39 i: -> /home/dlanor78 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 15 2008-03-29 19:01 j: -> /media/OldLinux lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 8 2008-02-01 22:42 q: -> /media/c lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlanor78 dlanor78 1 2007-09-29 01:38 z: -> / As far as using ntfs-3g, I do a lot of video editing of files that are captured using a hauppauge pvr-150 card. I do install programs in the fake c: drive, I use the ntfs drive for the mpg files so I can access them with r/w in windows when I need to. I use Womble's mpeg-vcr in wine to edit the mpg files on the ntfs drive (gopdit and gopchop seem to mess them up somehow) then reboot into windows to author a dvd in tmpgenc dvd author. Then it's back into linux to shrink the dvd with wine and dvd rebuilder this way I can fit more on a disc. This probably sounds ridiculous but dvd authoring sucks on linux so far. There are a few programs getting close to good, but nothing that I've found works like I need it to. I can't reboot at the moment because I'm in the middle of an important task that can't be interrupted, but I'll do so later and post back if there's further problems.
