Can I have your old one ? ;)
Apart from fixing this ugly bug , it looks like something more precise than "dont run as root" is needed before inviting the click-and-go windows crowd to join the party.

If you are not part of the disk group and you are not running as root, this cannot happen. There might be a bug in Wine, but the most important error is people having incorrect rights set or having too much rights.
I was part of the disk group when my MBR was overwritten because I'd been doing some work on the drives and don't like sudo. Isn't it still a bug in wine that the MBR was overwritten in the first place, even if I'm in the disks group or running as root?
