Winecfg should probably not allow moving the C drive; if you really want that, you have to know what you are doing, and do it by hand. Why do you want to move it at all?
Yes, just too much can go wrong there, without special care.
Because I have a 20gb drive that Linux is installed on, and a blank 40gb mounted at /mnt/d (there is no windows installed on it). I want wine to install its things to my 40gb, and just for no other good reason than the fact that I am making an example of a normal user, I dont want to move the 40gb from /mnt/d .. IMHO if we are going to give the users the option to put their c drive where they want to so easily, we should make assumptions that they will want anything installed there to be moved if they relocate it, or we should give them a way to setup where their c drive is located before anything is put there, instead of assuming that they want it located at ~/.wine/drive_c ..
How about you move your .wine to /mnt/d/ and make a symlink from ~ (or set WINEPREFIX)? That sounds like a much saner solution than moving your drive_c around from within winecfg.
