--- Comment #8 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-03-21 13:04:37 --- Hello,
what the app is basically trying to do on standard wine 'drive_c' (dosdevices/c:) -> seeking/reading/writing raw sectors (bootsector, file system structures, ...) won't work/is not supported by design. It would be pointless for wine 'pseudo' disk devices.
If you want the tool to mess with a real windows partition you can of course mount it, set the right permissions for raw access and add/configure it using winecfg drive mapping.
Just an advice ... if you use such tools that directly read/write from/to disk, skipping OS/filesystem drivers use a separate disk/partition for recovery. Modifying an already corrupted disk is asking for trouble.
WONTFIX in my opinion. Some info should be added to the appdb entry to explain the issue. Ideally there could be a small wiki entry too so one can just refer to it next time ;-)
Regards
