Here's my entry in /etc/fstab for my XP partition (NTFS) : /dev/hda2 /mnt/win ntfs user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,ro,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 The uid and gid options give a user and group that will own the mounted filesystem. Put your IDs there. rudi

You need to take the registry of the original windows with many side effects. The results are unpredictable. Better install the software you desire under plain Wine. This tends to work better and better. Regards Joachim -- "Never touch a running system! Never run a touching system? Never run a touchy system!!!"
