Thanks for you response, I actaully found a similar answer seaching the 
Wine group on google... imange that ... yes I said "searching" :-)
But it seem that all I can execicute from the partiton is IE and simple 
applications like putty? But know Office or Lotus Notes?

Any ideas on these( I also read something about coping dlls),

David
