I'd be quite surprised if a program running in normal user space, i.e.
not as root, can do that.
Possibly after some 'sudo chmod oga+w /dev/sda' kind of commands?
In my system (Fedora 12) both the disk and its partitions are owned by
root and are in the disk group with ug+rw permissions, so the simplest
solution may be to add the user, where wine is run, to the disk group.
This applies to both the internal disk and a USB mass storage device. I
just plugged a key-fob camera, which uses a micro-SD card to store
images, into this laptop to check:
Access to raw devices within Windows is very difficult without either
special kernel level code or a specific driver. Wine supports neither
of these options. However, I'm wondering if RAW access (like that
preferred by Oracle) is possible from within Windows. It may not be
impossible to do this with Wine, but it will be very difficult.
