wine users - Jun 2009 - access another drive

Sorry if I'm repeating some of the other post questions but the answer
wasn't quite clear as what I want to do.

I'm using Ubuntu fully not dual boot.  I have 4 drives.  One is my main
Ubuntu drive.  Another drive (call it the D drive)  is a holdover from windows
that have photos and videos.   The other two are backups.

I want to access my D drive in Wine but I can't see it in the drive's
tab in Wine.  This drive was not formatted for Linux, so it still is in NTSF
format.
Is is it possible to access it in wine?

If this is not possible, then if I take one of the backup drives, format it in
ext3 (? newbie) and copy everything from D to the newly reformatted drive, will
I now be able to access the new external drive in Wine?

If you can access it in Linux, run winecfg and add it... You do not
want to run applications from an NTFS drive currently, due to
limitations of the driver for the filesystem.

What do you want to do?

Access the NTFS drive from Linux (not a Wine issue, you should be able
to double click on it or something, but as google and the Ubuntu
forums) or do you have a program running in Wine that requires
datafrom an NTFS drive?

I'll be accessing files only, jpeg, mpegs etc.  No programs will be run.

I'm using Photoshop via wine, and it only shows the directories that are
listed in Wine.

interesting, I'll try that.

Thanks.
