Hi, i've mounted a NTFS-Partition and want to use it with Wine.. i've compiled Wine-20011004. After execute tools/winestall i get the following message: "Windows was not found so i assume ...." But i have mounted my NTFS - Partition in /mnt/WINNT and have the following entry in my fstab: /dev/hda1 /mnt/WINNT ntfs ro,auto,user,umask=022 0 2 ok i thought no problem and entered explicit the following entry in .wine/conf: [Drive C] "Path" = "/mnt/WINNT" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" and now i can start my Programs from the Winnt-Partition..but most programs complain about missing DLL or Registry-Entry... I've tried this with Win98 and it worked fine.. Is there any possibility to do this with Winnt or is this a problem in general? Thanx a lot Armin

NTFS means in most case broken write support. And Windows applications are not written with the assumption that C: will be read-only. Gerard
ya i have to agree with gerard. FAT is fine .............NTFS....especialy NTFS v5 there extra attributes added (than NT4)so it might make us wait longer till than.
