Summary: Grub boot error after using WMP9
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://homepages.onsneteindhoven.nl/~wolput

        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

After using windows media player 9 (wine wmplayer.exe) I always get a grub boot
error, need to rescue grub and run grub-install '(hd0)'

I am using Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.25-2-686, grub-pc v.1.96+20080512-1,
wine_1.0~rc1~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1_i386.deb.
(The same boot error also happens when using wine v.0.9.61)

Don't run Wine as root. And don't give yourself write access to hard drive.
What all dlls did you override?

I never run Wine as root and did not override any dlls!

I checked the permissions of /dev/hda which are set to owner root: can read &
write, group disk: can read & write, others: forbidden.

After removing myself from the group disk, the MBR is no longer altered and
grub
boots normally.

I still wonder the boot process could be affected by using Wine!

Thanks for your advice!

Might be some parts of wmp doing something that's harmless on windows but
dangerous on Wine. Did you installed anything else other then wmp under Wine?
Have you set any dlls to native?

Sorry, I shouldn't have reported this while I used winetricks to get wine
running wmp9.
