Sometimes in the middle of a task (usually in DVD Rebuilder) the drive will disappear but even if it doesn't then it's gone after a reboot.

Don't use ntfs-3g - it does not provide all the functionality required for Wine. Install programs into Wine's "fake c:" drive.
Aside from that - there is a known problem with drives disappearing if one of them conflicts with cdrom. Run 'ls -la ~/.wine/dosdevices' and paste results here.
