I am using Mandrake 8.0 (on /dev/hda5) with Windows 2000 (on /dev/hda2) mounted as /mnt/win2000 and the windows swap file (on /dev/hdb12) mounted as /mnt/k. I installed wine-20010305-1.i386.rpm and then ran winesetup. When it got to Autodetect I got following message: Unable to detect any users on WinNT/2k partition mounted on /mnt/k. This means that this windows installation is probably damaged and can't be used. When I clicked Ok I got following message: Unable to detect any users on WinNT/2k partition mounted on /mnt/win2000. This means that this windows installation is probably damaged and can't be used. I clicked OK and then selected Use an Existing Windows Directory and set it to /mnt/win2000. I then checked Drives and found following: V: /mnt/win2000 X: /tmp I then checked Paths and found following: Windows: V:\winnt System: V:\winnt\system32 Profile: V:\winnt\Profiles\Default User Temp: X: The strange thing is Profiles. In Windows 2000 there is a winnt\profile directory but, at least in my case, it has only one subdirectory, nl All Users (with an Adobe subdirectory). What is wrong here?

(i think it something like documents and profiles) you'll have to look around the 2000 partition a bit, but if you redirect wine to it after you find it, that might fix your problem.
