When I run winecfg and tell it to Autodetect is finds my 500 gb hard drive and assigns it as drive k: which is great. But the mapping doesn't seem to stick. Sometimes in the middle of a task (usually in DVD Rebuilder) the drive will disappear but even if it doesn't then it's gone after a reboot. I'm not seeing an option in winecfg to save the settings so is there something I'm missing? I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy with wine version 0.9.58.

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy with wine version 0.9.58.I *think* the drive configuration options in winecfg are left over from a time when drive hotplug events weren't handled by wine. Now that wine handles them, they can override any manual changes you make. I think that's a bug/usability problem, but I'm not quite sure.

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy with wine version 0.9.58. The drive is formatted in ntfs with ntfs-3g so might that be the problem?Don't use ntfs-3g - it does not provide all the functionality required for Wine. Install programs into Wine's "fake c:" drive. Aside from that - there is a known problem with drives disappearing if one of them conflicts with cdrom. Run 'ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices' and paste results here.
