wine users - May 2008 - "The Disk is Not Ready"

Greetings,
Running Xubuntu 8.04 on IBM R51 laptop with 1 Gb of RAM, 1.5 Ghz CPU. Downloaded
and installed the latest wine from www.winehq.com. I installed Quicken 2007
without event. I wanted to restore a file from my Windows version of Quicken. I
hit the radio button saying I'm not a new user and want to restore a file
from the computer. I browse to the file and select it. Then I get a dailogue box
saying:
"The Disk is not ready" I can use Notepad to create and save a file in
drive_c. I tried chmod 777 /home/tootlet/.wine/Quicken thinking it was a
permissions issue. Didn't work. Still "Disk is not ready". How do
I get the disk ready?

Tried googling and reading some entries in winehq forums but didn't run
across anything like this. I would appreciate any hints you might be able to
provide.

Thanks,
Tom

Where is that file you are trying to open? Try copying to to Wine's
"fake c:" drive (~/.wine/drive_c) and open it from there.

Greetings.
This had occurred to me and I had tried restoring file from the external hard
drive where it was originally backed up, then from my home directory and finally
from /.wine/drive_c. I get the same message:
"Disk not ready" in all cases. Thanks for the suggestion.
